Analysis of the Aerodynamics and Drag Coefficient of the Tesla Model S Using the Siemens Star Ccm+ Software
Abstract:Air resistance significantly affects a vehicle's performance, especially during high-speed operation. This study employs the Siemens Star CCM+ software to investigate the aerodynamics and drag coefficient of the Tesla Model S electric car. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were used to assess the vehicle body profile. A theoretical model was established to evaluate the effectiveness of the research methodology. This study concentrates on the aerodynamic analysis of variations in the vehicle's rear end, … Show more
