Analytical Investigation Of Vortex Generators In Light Weighted Vehicles Using Cfd Analysis

Abstract

In the modern day design of vehicles, especially in the automobile industry involves a great deal of aerodynamic design study to analyze the airflow. The aerodynamic drag force adversely affects the forward motion of the vehicle, which in turn reduces the efficiency. If the vehicle is redesigned to optimize the aerodynamic forces, it could produce better results but requires a huge capital to change the complete design. Most of the research thesis on drag reduction has proved that the effective way of controlling the flow at the rear end of the vehicle has been achieved by using the vortex generators (VGs).
