The contamination of the vehicle body surface reduces visibility through the rear window and makes the rear stop lamps invisible. In order to simulate this phenomenon by means of computational fluid dynamics, two different methods have been developed and examined. One is a 'Dirt Particle Path Method' which calculates the motion equation of dirt particles, the other is a 'Dirt Concentration Method' which calculates the diffusion equation of dirt. The results of simulations with these methods correspond to the real contamination pattern of the on-road tests.
