In recent years, rapid changes in market demands towards carbon neutrality have necessitated swift developments in the automotive industry. Consequently, the utilization of the computer simulations during the early phases of vehicle development is imperative to clarify the performance characteristics. Particularly, the cooling performance of vehicles stands as a crucial element in ensuring safety and performance, making it essential to predict the optimal cooling performance based on the heat generated by the powertrain during the initial stages of vehicle development. However, the thermal analysis models required for assessing vehicle cooling performance demand significant computational time and resources, making them difficult to employ for performance evaluations associated with design changes during the planning phase.
