摘要：

The flow field around the cabin of a convertible car was investigated using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The method which reduces swirling flow from outside and its effects are described. Results of the investigation indicate that the wind swirling from outside the cabin is reduced by the air curtain formed around the cabin opening and that the flow control method described reduces the size of flow separation area formed behind the rear canopy.
