Abstract
EXPERIMENTAL ANALYSIS for the increase of the radiator cooling air has been performed with special attention to the utilization of air pressure in high-speed running conditions. Measurements of pressure distributions at the radiator cooling air intake showed that the prevention of the occurrence of separations around the bumper is the efficient method to increase the cooling air. Furthermore, the optimum configuration for the radiator cooling air discharge has also been experimentally studied using a simplified model which simulates the under part of the engine compartment. These improvements made the vehicle radiator cooling air volume increase 14% under high-speed running conditions.
