“…Initial approaches to the issue of windshield water contamination brought on by rain concentrated on the continuous optimization of vehicle components to reduce the problem of visual obstruction, including the structure of the wipers [7,8], control strategies [9,10], and the wetting characteristics of the windshield [11][12][13]. These techniques can somewhat lessen the amount of precipitation that accumulates on the windshield but cannot reduce the frequency of raindrop impact.…”

A theoretical foundation for implementing surface self-cleaning can be provided by analyzing the motion of adhering droplets in airflow. When driving in rainy circumstances, self-cleaning windshield technology can efficiently guarantee driver safety. In this study, the CLSVOF method is employed to simulate a three-dimensional wind tunnel model, enabling an investigation into the dynamics of droplets adhering to a windshield under the influence of airflow. Subsequent analysis mainly focuses on the impacts of wind velocity and droplet size on the motion patterns and morphological characteristics of the droplets. The temporal evolution of the forces acting on the droplets is examined, along with a comparative analysis of the predominant forces driving droplet motion against other forms of resistance. The results demonstrate that the motion patterns of the droplets can be broadly categorized into three phases: accelerated decline, forces equilibrium, and accelerated climb. As wind speed increases, there is a noticeable reduction in the wetting length Ld, while the height of the droplets H and the dominant force influencing their motion shift from gravitational component Fgsinα to wind traction force Fwind. Moreover, an increase in droplet size accentuates the lag in changes to wetting length, droplet height, and the contact angle.

In this generation, usage of transportation vehicles is drastically increased. It is very important to improve the safety facility in an automobile vehicles. Due to this, many researchers have contributed to research and development on smart wind shield wiper mechanism in automotive. Considering that, the current work compiles a compilation of articles reviewed on smart wind shield wiper mechanism from year 1903 to 2015. Further than that, this work also provides information relating to the varying designs and specifications of smart windshield wiper mechanism. At the same time, the writers also propose potential future research that could be undertaken in relation to the development in wiper mechanism in automotive application, which in turn may allow for new research pathways in this area of interest. Finally, taking into consideration the design and safety factors of the current market trend wiper mechanism, the writes also propose possible windshield washing system for various application.
