Abstract
This study examines the flows near the different side mirrors by analyzing the flow due to air resistance at A, B and C models of automotive side mirrors. Model A is a square-shaped side-mirror. Model B is a triangular side-mirror and model C is an oval-shaped side-mirror. The air resistance of the side-mirror while driving is reduced and the automotive power can be reduced by changing the design of automotive side-mirror. As analysis result, as the pressure of air resistance against side mirror becomes larger, it can be seen that the air flow rate becomes great. Therefore, it can be estimated that the smaller the pressure of air resistance, the smaller the flow rate and the better the air flow. Therefore, it can be acknowledged that model B is the best model. As the design data of the automotive side mirror obtained on the basis of this study result are utilized, the esthetic sense can be shown while driving a car at real life.
