Abstract

The longitudinal resistance research of body molding is aimed at optimizing vehicle design and reducing air resistance, thereby improving economic efficiency and performance. Starting from the composition of vehicle resistance, the factors affecting the longitudinal resistance of vehicles are discussed, and the methods needed to reduce drag are pointed out. The current research status of spoiler and vehicle appendage is introduced, and the development prospect of future drag reduction technology is proposed. As technology advances, automotive aerodynamic drag reduction research will continue to deepen, contributing to achieving higher aerodynamic performance and energy efficiency. The optimization of vehicle wake field structure is the key to reduce aerodynamic resistance and improve vehicle driving performance.
