A CFD Simulation Method for Vehicle Seat Heating and Ventilation Considering the Multilayer Seat Structure

Automotive thermal-comfort studies commonly focus on interactions between occupants and cabin air, although the seat forms the principal sustained contact interface between an occupant and a vehicle. This study presents a coupled computational fluid dynamics (CFD) framework that...

Experimental and Numerical Investigation of Door-Closure Ear Pressure with Improved Leakage Modeling

The transient pressure rise in occupants’ ears during vehicle door closure remains a key challenge for cabin comfort, but existing simulation methods often lack accuracy or efficiency. This study develops an integrated experimental–CFD–theoretical framework. A high-fidelity vehic...
