Aerodynamic characteristics of a car are important in reducing car accidents caused by wind loading and in lowering fuel economy, continuing to be a major topic of interest. The restrictions of wind tunnel tests and the rising trend of numerical methods have been complied with by past researchers to investigate vehicle aerodynamics computationally. This research aims to analyze comprehensively the effect of crosswinds on a moving vehicle in terms of aerodynamic loadings and flow structures using commercial fluid dynamic software ANSYS FLUENT. This paper will focus on the CFD-based simplified compact car body developed in CATIA V5 by neglecting the external parts such as side mirrors and underbody.
