An Investigative Study on Motorbike Through CFD Solar

Abstract

The aerodynamics of the vehicle changes with the structure of the vehicle which must be painstakingly considered while its design. In any case, the streamlined improvement experiences from the timeliest stages, in the design upgrade program, and remains up to full creation level, until the moment that the detail is progressed. The wind tunnel estimations keep on being the most well-known and broadly utilized methodology. The iterative simulation techniques through computational fluid dynamics (CFD) with high-end computers are used for aiding and reducing the trial tests. Proposed work is focusing on the investigative analysis of a motorbike for different models. Through the CFD analysis, various motorcycle models and radiator profiles are examined for the different flow conditions. Further, the effect of specific fuel consumption for the different models is also examined in which the conventional motorbike is having 0.642% change in fuel efficiency than radiator motorbike. The comparison of the aerodynamic drag acting on conventional motorcycle, radiator motorcycle, and superbike using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) estimated that the superbike model having lowest amount of drag coefficient of 11.89% by basic conventional model. The radiator model at 60° has lowest coefficient of drag around 63.65%, i.e., lower than the basic model of the radiator. Therefore, through this CFD analysis the airflow and advancements in the design of an efficient motorbike in terms of better riding ability, control, comfort, and low fuel consumption are observed.
