Abstract

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has evolved into an essential methodology within the field of automotive aerodynamics, enabling detailed investigation of airflow characteristics, aerodynamic forces, and thermal management strategies without the prohibitive costs associated with physical wind tunnel testing. This paper provides an in-depth review of contemporary CFD software employed in the automotive sector, encompassing both commercial and open-source solutions. The discussion integrates technical performance, modeling capabilities, and practical deployment scenarios, supported by comparative analysis and literature-based validation. Results indicate that while commercial platforms deliver superior integration, optimized solvers, and user support, open-source solutions remain indispensable in research-oriented environments due to their adaptability and cost efficiency.
