본 연구에서는 국내에서 개발 중인 범용 수치해석 모델 에디슨을 활용하여 자동차 후미에 장착되는 리어 디퓨저에 대한 특성을 파악하기 위하여 수행되었다. 변수로는 자동차의 속도와 리어 디퓨저의 각도이며 자동차의 속도 및 리어 디퓨저의 각도 변화에 따른 자동차의 공력특성을 파악하고 이를 통해 리어 디퓨저 형상 설계 인자에 대한 자료를 확보하고자하였다. 그 결과 일정 각도 범위 내에서 최적의 자동차 공력특성이 보임을 확인하였다.

This study examined the change in driving performance according to the starting position of the rear diffuser of a vehicle. To accomplish this, the CATIA 3D design program was used to model the vehicle with reference to a commercial SUV vehicle and design the rear diffuser to start from 300, 400, and 500 mm from the rear tire. The flow and drag change were analyzed and the change in air flow was confirmed using Fluent, a flow analysis program at a vehicle traveling speed of 60, 100, and 140 km/h. The rear diffuser reduced the lift and drag forces compared to no diffuser regardless of the starting position. This is because if there is a rear diffuser, it will reduce the vortex phenomenon by suppressing the flow separation that occurs when air is drawn out from the rear portion of the vehicle. In this study, the starting point SP 400 was determined to be the optimal condition because the lift force was the smallest at SP 400 and the lift reduction effect was the best.
