Zusammenfassung

An unobscured view from the vehicle during rainy weather conditions is essential for occupants’ safety and comfort. With the decrease in the time available for vehicle development and testing, it is becoming even more important to control and predict vehicle water management early in the development cycle to avoid undesired soiling effects. To do so, a transient external aerodynamics transient simulation coupled with a discrete particle phase is explored, where rain droplets away from the vehicle are modeled as Lagrangian particles and rain droplets that impact the vehicle are represented through a film model.
