The magnitude of door closing force is important in vehicle NVH characters, and in most case, it is not fully studied by computer aided engineering (CAE) in an early developing stage. The research took a heavy-duty truck as the study object and used Computational Fluid Dynamic (CFD) method with dynamic mesh to analyze the flow field of the cabin during door closing process. The change trend of pressure with time was obtained, and the influence of different factors was studied. The experiments were conducted to verify the results. Results show that the velocity of closing door and the size of relief holes have a significant influence on cabin interior pressure, and greater velocity leads to larger the pressure in cabin. The initial angle of the door affects interior pressure less comparing with the velocity of closing door. The interior pressure could be reduced effectively with the method of decreasing the velocity of closing door and increasing the size of relief holes.

With the continuous improvement of the road condition, commercial vehicles get to be faster and more overloaded than before, which puts higher pressure on the vehicle braking system. Conventional friction braking has been difficult to meet the needs of high-power commercial vehicle. The auxiliary braking equipment will become the future trend for commercial vehicle. Hydraulic retarder is superior to secondary braking equipment. Previously hydraulic retarder research mainly focus on flow field analysis, the braking torque calculation, cascade system optimization and control methods for hydraulic retarder. The gas-liquid two-phase flow in working chamber is less researched. Based on this, this article discusses on the hydraulic retarder from two aspects. Firstly, this paper presents a block modeling method for hydraulic retarder system.
