This study showed a possible application of a two dimensional Panel Method for the small vehicle model passing through incompressible, inviscid, irrotational and steady fluid flow field. And the pressure coefficient distributions around the model were discussed in the study.
In this two dimensional application, the crosssection at center of the model that had already been tested was adopted for the test area. The test model consisted of 85 panels for the study.
On the pressure coefficient distributions around the model of vehicle the most positive pressure coefficient acted at front grill, and negative pressure coefficient acted at the front corner of bonnet and front and rear of roof.
The result which was given by the pressure coefficient was compared with those of the former experimental data and then it was shown that the coefficient was coincided with the former data except area near separation point only.
