Large Eddy Simulation for SUV Aerodynamics Design – Cadence TECHTALK
Discover the forefront of SUV aerodynamics in our upcoming webinar. With the demand for energy-efficient vehicles rising, the quest to minimize aerodynamic drag is more critical than ever.
Honda leverages CFD and wind tunnel testing to optimize vehicle shapes and reduce drag. Explore how Fidelity CharLES transforms SUV design by accurately predicting aerodynamic performance, ensuring alignment with Honda’s rigorous development standards. The precision of predictions for exterior shape, underfloor devices, tires, and wheels must meet development criteria. Simulation outcomes with rotating wheels are compared with test measurements conducted at Honda’s 5-belt wind tunnel facility.
