Aerodynamic performance analysis of electric vehicle with different air-inlet and air-outlet patterns and battery positions

  • Using software GAMBIT as pre-processor and software FLUENT as calculator and post-processor,research was done on the effect of air-inlet and air-outlet patterns and battery positions on the electric vehicle aerodynamic performance. The results show as follows:up-outlet mode of wind with one hole has the best aerodynamic performance,and down-outlet mode of wind has the worst aerodynamic performance;with the distance between battery and power cabin increasing,the aerodynamic performance of electric vehicle is improved,and then deteriorated,and the distance of 230mm fits the best electric vehicle aerodynamic performance.
