Popis: The interaction of underhood flow with external aerodynamics is part of the main topics for the development of automotive aerodynamics. In particular, the location and design of cooling air exits as well as the mass flow through the radiator package are considered to be important factors. The DrivAer is an open-source, aerodynamic reference model, which has a realistic overall geometry compared to rather simple, generic shapes such as the SAE body. The model is flexible in use as it provides different rear end and wheel designs. The open-grille upgrade of the DrivAer enhances the potential of the body towards a reference model for more detailed, open cooling investigations.
