Effects of Vehicle Type and Inter-Vehicle Distance on Aerodynamic Characteristics during Vehicle Platooning

Considering the future development in vehicle platooning technology and multiple models pertaining to complex road environments involving freight cars general vehicles, speed distance of a model were set as variables this study. This study aimed at analyzing effect currents acting differently using SolidWorks Flow Simulation tool for between different trucks that are currently being studied actively sports utility (SUV) whose market share has been increasing, order evaluate changes drag coefficient their causes. Additionally, purpose-based (PBV) presented by Hyundai Motor (Ulsan, Korea) during CES 2020 was considered. In study, we found shape rear side leading reduces following washing wake, similar spoiler rear. The area forms wide range low pressures, which increases vehicle. overall height also generates distribution pressures above impact on front enables wake vehicle, involves inhibit Bernoulli Furthermore, continues be affected resulting an increase reduction.
