The flow around the automobile tire house was investigated from numerical analysis, and the effective location of PAs, which can be expected to provide snow protection, was studied from numerical analysis. First, the effect of the ground on the experimental conditions was investigated for the tire house model currently being tested. Next, the location of PA installation was investigated by reproducing the PA effect using a surface velocity model. When the PA was installed behind the tire and driven steadily, the results showed that the flow behind the tire increased in speed, and it was inferred that the PA drive could be expected to provide snow protection.
