The aim is to study and modify car body by keeping concepts and phenomena of automotive aerodynamics in consideration. In first phase, detail study of aerodynamic behavior of a car segment by considering drag coefficient, frontal pressure, rear vacuum and down-force. To measure drag coefficient in particular and observing airflow around the body numerical and CFD analysis is to be used. At the same time to decrease vehicle's resistance and to increase down-force, a comparative numerical analysis is to be performed. There are two means of measuring the drag, the first is by simulating the air flow via computational fluid dynamics (CFD) suite, and the second is by using wind tunnel experiment. For practical analysis approach, wind tunnel set up can be used. As a result of this project we will be able to get a perfect aerodynamic car design with reduced drag-force, higher efficiency, better performance and less fuel consumption.
