  4. Abstract:
  5. Investigation of air distribution and wind effect on a vehicle body from the point of view of underhood heat transfer effect and proper positioning of vehicle elements such cooler, condenser and engine configuration is an important area for engine researchers and manufacturers as well. In this research, the effect of air velocity distribution and wind effect around a vehicle is simulated and temperature and velocity distribution around engine block which is influenced by the wind effect is investigated. Thermal investigation of the engine compartment components is performed using results of underhood air temperature and velocity distribution. The heat transfer from engine surface is calculated from the engine energy balance in which their input data are obtained from a comprehensive experimental study on a four cylinder gasoline engine.
