This study aims to generate electrical energy using a wind turbine mounted in the front of a vehicle. In this study, the impact of the wind turbine on vehicle aerodynamics is evaluated, particularly in terms of aerodynamic drag, pressure, and flow velocity, while highlighting the potential benefits of energy production. The results showed that the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the vehicle increased by approximately 0.38% due to the wind turbine. However, the net energy gain produced by the wind turbine mounted on the vehicle while the vehicle is moving at a speed of 27 m/s was observed to be approximately 6.51% of the aerodynamic energy loss of the master model vehicle. In conclusion, this type of wind turbine system has the potential to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce environmental pollution. This study demonstrates that the use of wind turbines in electric vehicles can have positive effects on energy management.
