CFD Modeling Air Conditioning of a CAR
Objective: Study the correlation between airflow rate, inlet temperature, number of vents, and position of the vent on thermal comfort
Details: Modelled a generic car cabin and seats following the blueprint. Using CFD simulation tested the correlation of thermal performance with ambient temperature, airflow rate, inlet temperature, number of vents, and position of vent. Finally, a prediction of flow rate and number and position of the vent was made for both heating and cooling optimization.
Software used: SolidWorks, StarCCM+
