Design and Analysis of Vortex Generator To Reduce Drag Force In Sedan Vehicle
Abstract
To accumulate energy and to secure the global environment, fuel consumption attenuation is primary concern of automotive development. In order to reduce the fuel consumption and to improve the driving performance of vehicle, reduction of drag force is essential and it can be achieved by using aerodynamic device. In a racing car and road vehicle the aerodynamic drag is one of the main obstacles which reduce the acceleration of a vehicle when it moves in the air, hence the fuel efficiency is adversely affected. So, vortex generators (VG) are used to reduce the drag force through which the efficiency can be increased. In sedan vehicle in order to delay flow separation at rear end, various shapes of vortex generators (such as Gothic, Parabolic, Ogive, Rectangular, Triangular) are designed and analyzed by using CFD solver and the optimized result will be achieve.
