Aerodynamics of road vehicles

Abstract

This literature review thesis is based on the aerodynamic trends of road vehicles such as passenger cars, two wheelers and three wheelers. The science involved in aerodynamics different types of forces that is acted upon on the vehicle is explained. How the variable centre of gravity affects the aerodynamics of a vehicle is found out through already researched books and journals. The different aerodynamical components which can be introduced to modify the forces and different solutions testing methods is discussed in the review as well as the different aerodynamical differences of different vehicles is also discussed. And the thesis is concluded with the upcoming future trend which will influence the aerodynamics advancement. Use of new advancements AI models such as Gemini, Grammarly, ChatGPT is done in the report to paraphrase and shorten some paragraphs and to put the data in table form as well as to generate images.
