Abstract
This research is done by making electric car/Urban Electric Car with aerodynamic design. The purpose of this study is also often done. Because to the consumption of energy/fuel. The simulation is performed using Computational Fluid Dinamic. The turbulence method used k-ε and its discretization method Second Order Upwind. Using variations of speed 15 km/h, 30 km/h, 45 km/h and 60 km/h from simulation data performed the same result for four different speed variations, that is 0,4. With the result also produce picture of the same airflow display at each speed. In the future there is expected to study the urban electric car by modifying existing car body parts, such as making more streamline on the front, rounded corner on the car and add a spoiler on the back of the car.
