Abstract [eng] Theoretical part of the final master's project delves into the components of automotive aerodynamics science, what are the main aerodynamic forces operating on the vehicle during driving, discusses their meaning and analysis methodology. The influence of objects placed on the car body on the changes in the force of air resistance was briefly presented. The assessment of fuel consumption, which depends on aerodynamic resistance, was analyzed and the main methodologies for conducting aerodynamic tests in wind tunnels of real cars were described. Also in the work presented the main aspects of software aerodynamic analysis, where you need to pay attention to when theoretically simulating the movement of the car moving in the air flow. At the end of the theoretical part, the researches carried out are reviewed, which analyzes the impact of open windows on the air resistance force and fuel consumption of the vehicle.
