Aerodynamic Shape of Car Body
Some parts of the car body design are notoriously difficult to aerodynamically optimize like a side mirror because they have complex shapes that need to enclose mechanical components of a fixed size. 80 to 90 of total aerodynamic drag will occurs from base pressure which is created by pressure difference of front and rear side of car. Pininfarina Sergio Concept Aerodynamics Car Body Design Aerodynamics Automobile Engineering Concept Cars Youll find the Hyundai Ioniq to be inspired by the teardrop shape which helps channel wind over the body for maximum aerodynamic stability. . Introduction to Road Vehicle Aerodynamics 11 Introduction to Road Vehicle Aerodynamics Aerodynamic drag or the wind resistance is considered to be of prime concern in vehicle design. This is because manufacturers effort to reduce Drag coefficient Cd. For example a flat plate held at right angles to the airflow has a Cd of 125 whereas the most efficient production car...
