Abstract

A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model of tank powertrain compartment was constructed for cooling air flow and heat transfer analysis. The key points temperatures of the powertrain compartment were tested, and the numerical values have a good agreement with the measurement datas. Detailed cooling air flow field distributing characteristic through radiators in the powertrain compartment were obtained through numerical method, with different fan speeds and ambient wind speeds. These results can provide the basis for the choice of the fan speed on specific condition and the air flow distribution of the radiator.
