Results of the detailed flow measurements for an underhood buoyancy driven flow using a simplified full scale model of an engine compartment, engine block, and exhaust heaters are presented. The engine block surface temperature and exhaust heaters are kept at about 100 °C and 600 °C, respectively. This investigation reveals the complex dominant flow structures and thermal behavior of a vehicle underhood under steady state and transient states. © 2009 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
