Özet
In this numerical study, aerodynamic lift and drag forces acting on windshield wipers operating on a simplified front windshield of a car are investigated. Geometric modifications including spoiler curvature, total wiper height and connection between metal part and spoiler of the wiper are tested with the aim to reduce lift forces acting on the front windshield wiper blades at high speeds such as 240 km/h. The inference of the investigated geometric modifications is then proposed as a useful wiper prototype which can be applied to minimize lift forces at relatively high speeds.
