| Application: CFD Predicts Underhood Thermal Loads For New SUV |

A recent article in ME Magazine describes how engineers at the General Motors Truck Product Center have used the most accurate CFD model of vehicle underhood and underbody constructed to date to predict flow patterns and thermal loads on a new SUV.
CFD analysis of vehicle underhood flows is not new at GM, however,
this is the first time GM engineers have modeled the full vehicle in a single simulation. Previously, the front-end, underbody, and underhood portions of the vehicle were modeled seperately with the results from each simulation specified as boundary conditions for other simulations. Such an approach is practical, but introduces errors because key interactions between the components are neglected.
Furthermore, the current analysis models several components directly which were previously specified only through static boundary conditions. These include the exhaust system, radiator heat rejection, radiator fan, and air density variation with temperature.

Design News has an article about McLaren's switch from 2D CAD to 3D solid modeling software. The need to integrate CFD into the rapid change cycle of Formula 1 grand prix dictated the move and now McLaren is reaping the rewards, which include the incredible ability to design a part in the morning, manufacture the part that afternoon, and ship it trackside all in one day.
