Abstract:

Through the theoretical derivation of drag coefficient sensitivity, the key locations of car body styling surface affecting drag coefficient are found out. According to the sensitivities obtained, automatic deformation technology is adopted to realize the grid self?learning and self?judgment of the changes of styling surface affecting drag coefficient, and finally achieve the goal of automatic optimization of vehicle aerodynamic drag. By the drag coefficient sensitivity analysis for a SUV, the effectiveness of the application of the sensitivity analysis and automatic deformation technology to the calculation of aerodynamic drag coefficient is verified. The method can reach the preset target value of drag coefficient without manual involvement in the whole process of calculation.

Key words: drag coefficient, sensitivity, automatic deformation, grid self?learning, self?judgment
