Abstract :
The aerodynamics characteristics of square Mira model were researched by simulation and wind tunnel test. The velocity distribution, pressure distribution, drag coefficient and the aerodynamic characteristics around model were achieved. With contras the results of simulation and wind tunnel test, it validated the veracity of simulation. Based on results, the back spoiler was added and the fixing angle was changed. The drag coefficient was achieved. The conclusions provide reference for how to reduce drag coefficient of SUV.
