Verification of a FSEC Racing Car Cooling System Model

This study verifies a FSEC racing car cooling system model by using Fluent software. To minimize unnecessary calculations, a porous medium is used to substitute the cold-type fins due to the periodicity of the cold-type fins. In the overall system simulation, the turbulence model is proved by using the Reynolds number for the overall calculation to ensure realism. To discuss the necessity of installing cooling fans in the cooling system, a wind tunnel simulation of the cold vent is carried out in this paper. And the model is verified by comparing the bench test and the simulation results to judge the correctness of the simulation results.
