Design and Optimization of Wheel Hub with Different Number of Holes using CFD

The wheel assembly used in automobiles usually includes hubs, steering knuckles, bearings and wheels, which are all or part of the product. The wheel assembly connects the wheel and chassis through the suspension system. Improving safety standards is important because a defect in the wheel assembly can affect people’s lives. The main purpose of the project is to design, manufacture and produce wheel assemblies, focusing on improving previous designs. When measuring and using this design, the various forces acting on the entire wheel assembly during various conditions such as braking, acceleration and cornering must be taken into account. The light hub and wheel combination will reduce inertia when trying to move the vehicle forward or stop it. There are many types of designs regarding the hub bore diameter in this study. Three, four and five holes with different fillet and pad radii were examined in this research.
