Computational radiator flow distribution method |
摘要 |
The present invention provides a method for analyzing airflow through a vehicle radiator and identifying how cooling openings in the vehicle affect airflow through the vehicle radiator. A plurality of pathlines each describing airflow through a vehicle front end and including a position identifier and velocity magnitude are computed. A plurality of intersection points are calculated to identify locations within a vehicle radiator that intersect with a generated pathline to identify pathlines from which air flows through the vehicle radiator. One or more elements are generated from the intersection points using a triangulation method, such as Delauney triangulation, so that the generated elements include intersection points as nodes and are non-overlapping. An airflow rate is calculated for each element based on the velocity magnitudes of the pathlines associated with the intersection points included in the element and the element area. |
