Analysis of Tesla CyberTruck Speed on the Velocity and Pressure Distribution Using SimFlow Software

This work presents a comprehensive Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of the external flow around the Tesla CyberTruck, focusing on its aerodynamic characteristics under varying conditions. The primary objectives are to study velocity and pressure distributions. The simulation considers two independent parameters: vehicle speed (20, 40, and 80 m/s) and the type of turbulent flow (k-ω SST and k-ε). The simulation provides insights into complex flow patterns through meticulous meshing, boundary condition setup, and solver configuration, highlighting areas of interest such as flow separation, recirculation, and turbulence. Parametric variations are analyzed to determine how turbulent flow type and speed affect critical parameters like pressure and velocity. The results of this CFD analysis offer valuable information about the vehicle's aerodynamic performance, contributing to design optimization, handling and stability enhancements, and improved fuel efficiency. The findings from this study are expected to enhance visualization and understanding of the aerodynamic aspects of the Tesla CyberTruck.
