Abstract

Suboptimal design and body shape in freight transport vehicles can lead to increased aerodynamic drag. To address this issue, the use of wind deflectors is proposed as a solution to reduce aerodynamic resistance in cargo vans. The methodology employed in this research involves Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using the Ansys Fluent R2 2023 software. CFD simulations were conducted on the design of a cargo box vehicle with variations in Wind Deflector Models 1, 2, and 3, employing identical boundary condition parameters. The results of the CFD simulation for Wind Deflector Model 3 exhibited the lowest drag force at 1.1531116 Newton and a drag coefficient of 0.37031338. In conclusion, a comprehensive analysis of the CFD simulation results provides valuable insights into the intricate aerodynamic implications of Wind Deflector variations on cargo vans. Therefore, it is concluded that Wind Deflector Model 3 emerges as the optimal choice, showcasing superior aerodynamic characteristics.
