The current automotive development cycle is becoming shorter and shorter, therefore research is needed to improve the efficiency of wind noise transient calculation. This article summarizes 14 internal and external factors that affect the efficiency and accuracy of transient analysis of wind noise, and uses the ULH algorithm to design DOE for these 14 factors. A total of 200 efficiency improvement schemes are generated, and transient analysis is conducted on each of the 200 schemes. The simulation results and calculation time of wind noise inside the vehicle are statistically analyzed. And aerodynamic acoustic wind tunnel tests were conducted to verify this, with the optimization objectives of simulation values approaching 86.1 AI% (experimental values) and shortened calculation time. NSGA-II algorithm was used to optimize and obtain five sets of efficiency combination schemes that meet the requirements. Develop five appearance feature schemes for areas such as A-pillar and rearview mirror, and apply five sets of efficiency schemes that meet the requirements to analyze the contribution of appearance schemes. At the same time, conduct wind tunnel acoustic cabin oil sludge model tests to obtain the experimental contribution of each appearance scheme, and compare and analyze it with simulation values to obtain an efficiency improvement scheme that simultaneously meets the requirements of high simulation accuracy, correct contribution trend, and effective reduction of calculation time for wind noise inside the vehicle. Finally, the simulation deviation of wind noise inside the car was achieved to be ≤1 AI%, with good spectral trend consistency, correct contribution trend of morphology scheme, and a 30+% increase in calculation efficiency, achieving the expected goals, shortening the transient calculation time, saving costs, and providing a foundation for the development of short cycle wind noise and the construction of wind noise transient database, which has certain practical significance.
