This paper establishes the basis for the design of a commercial vehicle model that solves the problem of sunroof buffeting noise, which is based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) numerical simulation technology. The large eddy simulation (LES) method was used to analyze the characteristics of the buffeting noise with different speed conditions while the sunroof was open. The simulation results showed that the small vortex generated in the cab forehead merges into a large vortex during the backward movement, and the turbulent vortex causes a resonance response in the cab cavity as the turbulent vortex moves above the sunroof and falls into the cab. Improving the flow field characteristics above the cab can reduce the sunroof buffeting noise. Focusing on the buffeting noise of commercial vehicles, it is proposed that the existing accessories, including sun visors and roof domes, are optimized to deal with the problem of sunroof buffeting noise. The sound pressure level of the sunroof buffeting noise was reduced by 6.7 dB after optimization. At the same time, the local pressure drag of the commercial vehicle was reduced, and the wind resistance coefficient was reduced by 1.55% compared to the original commercial vehicle. These results can be considered as relevant, with high potential applicability, within this field of research PB MDPI YR 2021 FD 2021 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26698 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10347/26698 LA eng NO Processes 2021, 9(6), 1052; https://doi.org/10.3390/pr9061052 NO This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (No. 52065013), the Guangxi Youth Science Fund Project (2018GXNSFBA281012), the Innovation-Driven Development Special Fund Project of Guangxi (Guike AA19182004), and the Liuzhou Scientific Research and Planning Development Project (2018AA20301) DS Minerva RD 23 abr 2026
