Computational Fluid Dynamics Investigation on the use of Heat Shields for Thermal Management in a Car Underhood

Temperature variations inside a car underhood are largely controlled by the heat originating from the engine block and the exhaust manifold. Excessive temperatures in the underhood can lead to the faster deterioration of engine components and may affect the thermal comfort level inside the passenger...
