Abstract

Applying the computer-aided optimization (CAO) platform Isight to integrate computational fluid dynamics software FLUENT with Design of Experiment (DOE) components. The DOE components automatically call the values of fluid simulation, and treat the heat flux of front and back seats as the cooling efficiency of the cab. Fluent adopts the Pressure-based Couple Solver (PBCS) algorithm and switches the RNG \( \kappa { - }\varepsilon \) two equations model as the three-dimensional turbulence model of the cab. Through DOE it can analyze how the direction of the air-condition inlet impact the heat flux of the front and back seats significantly.
