RC-CFD coupled modeling of transient local thermal-moisture distributions in the electric vehicle underbody during natural exposure

Key Points

• Transient thermal-moisture distributions impact the electric vehicle underbody performance, influencing durability.
• The analysis shows varying moisture levels across the underbody, critical for understanding material behavior.
• Coupled modeling techniques were used to study the effects of environmental exposure on thermal distributions.
• This work highlights the need for more comprehensive models to improve electric vehicle design in real-world conditions.
