Abstract
A cab roof fairing is a device that reduces the drag coefficient of a commercial vehicle, by controlling the resistance of flow separation occurring in the front when the commercial vehicle travels. Commercial vehicles are designed to facilitate aerodynamic resistance that cannot be avoided from the driving direction of the vehicle, because they must structurally load containers in the rear. For this reason, it is closely related to oil costs and environmental pollutants. In this study, the 3D fairing shape was designed based on the Rankine half body theory, and the design results were verified through aerodynamic analysis.
