Thermal management in automobiles is necessary to minimize energy usage while achieving a high level of occupant thermal perception. As the freedom of in-vehicle activity increases with autonomous driving, considering convenience becomes even more important, and, at the same time, the need for thermal management in electric vehicles is expected to increase. While it is necessary to consider the characteristics of the future mobility environment, there is still a lack of research that takes into account these changes in thermal management and proposes future research directions. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to explore basic research directions based on national R&D project cases and to provide a comprehensive overview. The environmental changes that need to be considered in thermal management research include the diversification of future transportation types and usage purpose diversification, the characteristics of electric vehicles, changes in the interior and exterior design of autonomous vehicles, personalized air conditioning environments, and dynamic thermal management according to occupant in-vehicle activity. This study provides an understanding of the overall field, and can help identify challenges, solutions, and ideas. Although this study provides conceptual considerations for research directions, future research is needed to identify detailed factors related to technology, environment, and human factors.

“…There are several techniques to increase the thermal comfort inside confined spaces like automobiles, whether it's the hot or the cold season. For instance, in the summer, it's proved that using the HVAC system is the most crucial approach to cope with the thermal stress, but in certain vehicles, additional systems, such as ventilation seats or even chilled seats, enhance the vehicle user perception of thermal comfort [15][16][17].…”

The amount of time spent in traffic by vehicle occupants has increased dramatically over the last two decades. This is because the average commute length and time spent stuck in traffic without a way out have increased at rates far exceeding population growth. At the same time, the quality of life has increased, in many areas of this world, leading vehicle users to prefer increased thermal comfort conditions inside the cabins when they are in traffic, a better thermal comfort in the vehicle being nowadays an important parameter when choosing a new vehicle. A solution to improve the thermal comfort of vehicle users is to uniformize the airflow inside vehicle by enhancing the mixing of the freshly introduced air with the ambient air. Based on literature previous research, air mixing can be improved by passive means using innovative air diffusers which have the ability of entraining more air than regular air diffusers. A comparative numerical study between different air diffusers will be carried out in the present paper with the help of Ansys Fluent software. The results revealed that a particular air diffuser, based on the lobed shaped cross orifice was found to entertain with 35% more air than a regular air diffuser.
