Abstract
In this study, the air resistance is studied by using flow analysis near automotive body due to the its shape. Flow velocities of airs entering into inlet plane are two kinds of 70 km/h and 100 km/h. Air resistance in case of high speed driving(100 km/h) becomes higher than regular speed driving(70 km/h) and the resistance in case of the car with wider cross section at front side becomes higher than narrower cross section. By using this analysis result, the shape of automotive body can be effectively designed in order to reduce the air resistance.
