Abstract :
An important aspect affecting a ground
vehicle's fuel economy is its aerodynamic adrag. Thus, the
goal of this research was to examine the
aerodynamic/performance of automobile geometryc for
a/hatchback. By adjusting various parameters, we were
able to quickly determine the Drag force and Lift force
using the OpenFOAM programme. In this investigation,
various geometries with marginally varied characteristics
such as hood, windscreen, back, and corner radius are
used. Geometries for this project are produced directly in
OpenFOAM using blockMesh. Using snappyHexMesh,
meshing is accomplished. This study primarily uses 10
Hatchback geometries, whose varied contours are
displayed at various speeds together with the
determination of their coefficients of drag and lift, leading
to the identification of one Hatchback shape that is
optimal.
