Multiphase Water Flow Simulation of a Vehicle’s Roof

Abstract

Considering the increment of computational power and the accuracy on the results, virtual engineering tools are becoming more popular among the industries, especially inside the automotive, seeking development time and cost reduction. Taking advantage of the modern resources, it was developed a simulation methodology in order to verify the water flow behavior from the roof to the side ditch of the vehicle's roof. Within this methodology it is possible to virtually test a vehicle without a real prototype, analy…
