Abstract:Because of the added mass, the aerodynamic drag of the automobile will increase obviously when accelerating in the still air. In this paper, it firstly gave the definition of the added mass, and presented that there was little research on the calculation of the added mass of automobile. Then through the analysis of the theoretical calculation method for the added mass, it pointed out that, for the added mass of the car-body with a complex shape, there was much difficulty in the theoretical calculation.
