车轮旋转对汽车流场影响的模拟研究

汽车车轮对汽车空气动力学特性有重要的影响。为了研究车轮旋转对汽车流场的影响，利用CFD方法，采用旋转壁面边界条件模拟汽车车轮旋转。建立了三维不可压缩雷诺平均方程，采用RNG湍流模型，利用二阶迎风差分格式获得控制体积界面上的物理量，应用SIMPLEC算法进行迭代计算．对汽车流场进行模拟仿真，并将结果与车轮静止的情况下进行对比分析。研究结果表明：汽车车轮转动对整车流场有明显的影响，特别是对汽车前后轮周围、汽车侧面和底面有很大的影响：车轮旋转情况下，车轮的上半部分受到的压力明显比静止的时候受到的压力大．但总体上会产生一个向上的气动升力：汽车在车轮旋转情况下，阻力系数和升力系数比车轮静止情况下的低。
