Abstract

The reduction of drag force is a complex and intricate challenge for the automotive manufacturing industry, as it has a direct impact on the overall performance of vehicles. Reducing drag force on a car enhances its ability to efficiently disperse air separation, resulting in reduced impediment and increased maximum velocity. The air resistance, which acts as a hindrance to the vehicle's movement, is considered a crucial element for enhancing both car performance and safety. Minimising air resistance contributes to the enhancement of the vehicle's ability to retain superior traction and stability. Aerodynamic profiling is used in this study to illuminate the impact of the vehicle's shape and surface representation on its behaviour. Results, reduce the drag force, and enhance the performance of the car. The primary objective of this study is to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a car by using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Additionally, the aim of this paper is to review and analyse relevant prior research in this field.
