In recent years, energy efficiency and legislative requirements for reducing carbon dioxide and other emissions have become a worldwide hot topic. Vehicle aerodynamics is the research subject of how air flows around and inside the vehicle, including trains, cars, and so on. The airflow around and through the vehicle begins to have a considerable effect on the running speed, and fuel efficiency. Vehicle aerodynamics plays a significant role in saving energy for future requirements of a climate-friendly environment. Its main goals are reducing aerodynamic drag, aerodynamic noise, and other causes of aerodynamic instability at high speeds. The methods of studying the vehicle aerodynamics mainly include computer modelling and wind tunnel testing. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct in-depth research in the field of computer modeling in vehicle aerodynamics. In order to make specific progress in this area, the special issue focuses on the contents of the study of computer modeling in vehicle aerodynamics, including numerical simulation method, aerodynamic shape design, aerodynamic drag reduction, vehicle aeroacoustics, wake flows, internal ventilation inside vehicles, etc.
