Abstract

This paper used the airflow organizations of a bulldozer cab as the research object, and the physical model and mathematical model of the three-dimensional airflow is played, and computational fluid dynamic software FLUENT is used to simulate the airflow organizations. The governing equations were solved by using the RNGk- ε two equation turbulence model and SIMPLE algorithm. We obtained the simulation results of temperature field and velocity field distribution of different air-supply modes in the driving room of the bulldozer in summer. The results show airflow distribution by different types of air-supply of the air conditioning of the bulldozer cab, which provides a theoretical basis to improve the thermal environment, and it has guiding function to the design of air duct of the engineering vehicle.
