Motivations
A fast and uniform defog/defrost of vehicles glazing is
very important for driving safety and occupant’s comfort.
The short timetable of the vehicles development
programs makes not feasible the work being done
exclusively on an experimental tests basis.
Thus, numerical simulation plays a very important role
through an extensive number of virtual testing and a
better understanding of the flow.

Goals
Development defrost/defogging air ducts in order to
achieve a uniform flow field in windshield and side
windows with high velocities.
This way defrost/defogging process will be optimized
and the standards for certifications will be reached.

Final Remarks
VW New Fox defrost/defogging air ducts were
developed on a virtual tests basis.
This way a great number of virtual analysis was
performed and air channel modifications results were
faster evaluated than only with experimental tests.
A significant improvement was achieved when
comparing with the previous VW Fox.
