摘要
本研究主要是運用數值模擬的方法分析設計台灣大學機械系於2000年所設計製造的太陽能車Formosun，並提供出設計車身阻力最佳化的方法與原則給下一部太陽能車的設計做參考。
本次研究中包含三部份：首先是目前車型的現狀，其次是局部外型修正後的結果，最後是外加流場控制後的情形。在第一部分算出目前車型的空氣阻力係數為0.2119；其次在局部外型修正結果上共討論五個部分：車頭的曲度設計、車頭的圓鼻設計、車尾的漸縮設計、車尾厚度的影響與車身正投影形狀設計，若將上述五項修改合併於一身，則總阻力係數下降至0.1439，下降幅度達32%；最後外加流場控制情形無論是在太陽能板表面作向下的吸氣，或是對座艙罩後方做氣體的吹入，對於阻力的下降幫助都不大。因此若是能在外型設計之初注意到上述五個部分，其低阻力的效果將比其他流場控制的效果更好。

Abstract
In this thesis, the aerodynamic drag on the shape of the solar racing car, Formosun, designed by the department of Mechanical Engineering, National Taiwan University was analyzed by numerical simulation of Navier-Stokes equations. The racing car is planned to attend the World Solar Challenge in 2003.
The purpose of this research is to modify the shape of the baselined car, which was designed in 2000, to reduce the drag. According to the concept of fluid mechanics, the shape of the head, nose, rear shape, tail thickness and frontal area are the parameters to be investigated. It shows that the drag coefficient can be reduced from 0.2119 to 0.1439. It is about 32% deduction.
Boundary layer control by injection and suction is also studied. Due to the streamline shape of the canopy and the separation size on the upper surface of the car, the drag reduction by injection and suction is minor.
