Automobile sunroof buffeting is the tonal noise of low frequency around 20Hz. It occurs due to the acoustic feedback process between the shear layer detached from the leading edge of sunroof opening and the Helmholtz resonator-like property of a car cabin. In this paper, PIV visualization technique is applied to the unsteady flow field around sunroof opening of an SUV in the full-scale automotive wind tunnel in order to find out buffeting mechanism. A phase-marking PIV measurement method, in which image and sound pressure are recorded simultaneously, and a phase-rearrangement post-processing program were developed for capturing noise-related velocity fields without expensive synchronization systems. Through this study, some characteristics of the real-car sunroof shear layers under various deflector conditions were identified and these results can provide insights into the noise reduction mechanism of the tube-type deflector.

The best sunroof wind noise quality is mainly related to the sunroof deflector which affects both low-speed buffeting and high-speed aerodynamic noise. An automatic deflector-moving and noise-measuring apparatus is developed to obtain hundreds of measuring data which haven't been available by hand. With an additional program for fast and easy noise analysis, this device leads quickly to the better position and angle of the deflector. Now, the 'better' means the lower noise level and the robuster design solution. From these kinds of better solutions, more meaningful guidelines on the deflector design and sunroof wind noise reduction can be suggested.

There are three significant noises from the sunroof while driving. Among them, sunroof tilt-up noise has mainly high-frequency characteristics in the side and rear openings of sunroof. Because of complex structures to operate sunroof, significant flow disturbance makes strong turbulent noise. In this study, sunroof tilt-up noise was predicted by using numerical simulation code and the results were compared with experimental data.

We have developed a speaker dependent voice command system(VCS) to control the sunroof in the car using RSC-164 VRP(Voice Recognition Processor). VCS consists of control circuits, microphone, speaker and user switch box. The control circuits include RSC-164, input audio preamplifier, memory devices, and relay circuit for sunroof control. It is designed robustly in various car noisy situations like audio volume, air conditioner, and incoming noise when window or sunroof opened. Each two users can control the car sunroof using seven voice commands on the Super TVS model and five voice commands on the Onyx model. It works well when we drive the car at over 100 km/h with the sunroof opened.

Sunroof is getting widely used in automobiles since it maintains, compare to window, better air circulation as well as less noise while driving in high speed. In this study, we consider an electronic control type spoiler sunroof which slides backward after tilting a rear part of a glass. Installing a wind deflector on the sunroof reduces noise much more effectively. The height of the wind deflector is designed using a boundary theory related to incompressible air layer. The developed wind deflector is investigated experimentally by measuring a wind noise. When the height of the wind deflector is designed by a fixed type, the sunroof maintains a very quiet interior noise over a certain driving speed, nevertheless it produces relatively loud noise in low driving speed.

The noise from the sunroof can be divided into the low frequency buffeting noise and the high frequency turbulence noise generated when a car runs at the high driving speed. The wind deflector suppresses the buffeting noise generation by accelerating the vortex shedding from the front edge of sunroof opening, and guides the flow direction so that air can pass smoothly over the sunroof opening. To reduce the buffeting noise and the high frequency noise, it is very important to locate a deflector in a proper position depending on the driving speed and the sunroof opening width. The deflector's sectional shape also plays an important role in efficiently reducing the buffeting and high frequency noise. In this paper, we determined the optimum deflector's sectional shape and examined the flow characteristics behind a sunroof deflector through CFD analysis with changing the deflector height, the driving speed and the sunroof opening width. It is found that the deflector needs to be located in the higher location to control the buffeting noise by shedding the higher frequency vortices to accelerating vortices from the sunroof front edge. The deflector may act as a new noise source at the high driving speed, then it is desirable to put the deflector at the proper height to reduce the flow fluctuations and the noise generation. We also made a road test to verify CFD analysis results in this study.

본 연구에서는 차량에 장착되는 파노라마 썬루프 디플렉터의 각도에 따른 개구부 주변 유동 특성을 분석하고 공력소음에 미치는 영향을 확인하였다. 파노라마 썬루프 개방 후 주행 시 공력소음을 저감하기 위해 메쉬 디플렉터를 장착하는데, 후방향인 기존 메쉬 디플렉터 각도를 전방향으로 변경하였을 때 유동 변화와 공력소음 기여도를 분석하였다. 이를 위하여 CAT(Computer Aided Test)와 실차 풍동 평가를 진행하였으며, 전방경사형 디플렉터에서 기존 디플렉터 대비 원활한 유동의 흐름과 유동 방향의 상향으로 공력소음이 개선되는 것을 확인하였다. 전방경사형 디플렉터 적용 시 동등한 원가에서 공력소음을 개선할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

This papers propose a Hall-effect sensors position error compensation method in a sunroof system using a BLDC motor with a low-cost MCU. If the BLDC motor is controlled with this wrong position, the torque ripple and operating current can be increased and the average torque also decreases. Generally, sunroof system has characteristics that operate at constant load for several seconds. It is possible to find the minimum operating current value while changing the position of the Hall-effect sensor during the sunroof operation by using these characteristics. Therefore, propose a method to change the Hall-effect sensor position and find the minimum current value. The validity of the proposed algorithm is verified through experiments.

This study presented the benefit of the pre-ventilation using solar sunroof with integrated photovoltaic. Recent year, auto-makers make an effort to enhance the fuel efficiency and moreover to clean the cabin passenger's health. Solar energy, one of the alternative energies, adapted in automotive air handling system, in order to pre-ventilation when vehicle parked under the sun in summer. The power generated by a prototype solar sunroof has been used to run blower in a air handing system. And the solar sunroof was installed in a vehicle, and evaluated to find out benefit of the pre-ventilation. The effect of reducing the cabin temperature about $3^{\circ}C{\sim}10^{\circ}C$ with 20 ~ 40W power generator from solar sunroof were obtained in the pre-ventilation test. This reduced thermal load can lead to the reduction of air-conditioning operation time than that of current car. Moreover, fuel economy may increase as a results of the short use of the air-conditioning time. Additionally, Total Volatile Organic Compounds in the cabin is reduced maximum 80% than that of the current vehicle.

현대자동차그룹은 HSM이라고 불리는 간략화된 차량 모델에 대하여 썬루프 버페팅 현상의 실험적인 조사를 시행하였다. 현대자동차그룹은 어떤 CFD솔버가 충분한 정확도를 가지고 썬루프 버페팅 현상을 예측하는지 조사하기 위해 상용CFD공급업체의 참여를 요청하였다. ANSYS Korea는 이번 조사에 참여하여 ANSYS fluent를 이용하여 HSM의 썬루프 버페팅에 대한 수치해석을 수행하였다. 먼저 유동장 검증을 위해 풍속 60 km/h에 대하여 썬루프가 닫힌 HSM모델에 대하여 해석을 수행하였다. HSM상부 면의 세 지점에서 속도 분포를 예측하였고, 이는 시험결과와 비교되었다. 그런 다음 고해상도 난류 모델인 DES를 이용한 해석이 전 풍속영역에 걸쳐 수행되었다. 버페팅 주파수와 버페팅 음압레벨이 예측되었고, 이는 시험결과와 비교되었다. 이를 통해 실제 차량 개발을 위한 CFD의 예측 가능성에 대하여 결론을 얻을 수 있었다.
