“…The combination of air-duct, inclined CRFM, and side grille opening sealing were investigated to achieve a simultaneous improvement of the radiator performance and cooling drag reduction. The benefits of such design changes have been well demonstrated by the authors in a previous study [42].…”

“…Current cooling air flow CFD studies can be traced to work undertaken on generic models such as the Ahmed body, modified with an internal duct, as performed by Barnard [1,2]. More recent work in the field has taken advantage of modern computational resources in modeling full vehicle airflow problems on production automotive geometries such as Large Saloons [3,4,5] and SUVs [3,6,7,8,9].…”

“…On the other hand, Nouzawa, et al, considered the engine cooling air in the system of a real vehicle consisting of: 1) flow around the front-end shape; 2) flow between the grille and the radiator; and 3) flow within the engine compartment and scavenging, with experimental analysis [7]. Recently numerical simulation on the cooling drag has been carried out in the system as each real vehicle [8] [9] [10]. In addition, with regard to the engine-compartment aerodynamics, other than documentations about drag and cooling efficiency, there are few publications about the running stability such as reduction of lift and about the side-wind stability, and therefore further research will be necessary.…”
