What happens when a car meets water - not in a lab, but in a fully simulated wading channel complete with speed bumps, puddles, and real suspension dynamics?
In this technical deep dive, shonDynamics demonstrates the power of shonDy and shonMesh in modeling one of the most challenging multi-physics problems in automotive engineering: a vehicle navigating through a flooded channel - where fluid dynamics meets structural deformation.
The study leverages the DrivAer Model from TU Munich and a high-fidelity 3D geometry generated in shonMesh, creating a realistic environment that combines terrain obstacles and fluid interaction. Over 3 million particles were simulated to replicate how puddle water splashes, deforms, and interacts with the suspension system - offering engineers a window into transient dynamics that are nearly impossible to capture experimentally.
Key insights include:
- Suspension deformation profiles under coupled fluid-structure interaction
- Velocity and load response as the vehicle traverses speed bumps and puddles
- Fluid coverage and flow visualization around the wheels and underbody
- How high particle resolution (2.5 mm radius) enhances simulation accuracy for splash dynamics and vehicle stability
By integrating shonDy’s advanced SPH solver with shonMesh’s geometry automation, engineers can now simulate full-scale vehicle wading and ride comfort scenarios without relying solely on physical prototypes - saving time, cost, and development cycles.
