✦ Synopsis

The dominant factor of a solar car is running resistance, especially aerodynamic drag; and the reduction of the C " (drag coefficient); A (frontal projected area) value is a crucial task to maximize the performance of a solar car. This paper will introduce the aerodynamic approach of the '96 Honda solar car which participated in the World Solar Challenge, the world's top solar car race.

Reduction of meshing effort is one of the key issues for the practical CFD. In order to treat this problem, an FEM solver using all tetrahedral elements, which leads to automatic grid generation and solution adaptive mesh, is applied to the flow around an automobile. Firstly, influences of the selec
