Based on the STAR CCM+ software, the Lagrangian method, Volume of Fraction Model (VOF) and Film model are combined to build the model of the vehicle in virtual shower room and to investigate the water depth at the bottom of vehicle cowl cover. The motion track of rain particles sprayed by the nozzles is presented with the Lagrangian method. The interaction between the rain particles and the vehicle surface like adhesion, rebound and formation of liquid film are considered. Meanwhile, the transition between the liquid film phase and VOF phase are considered with the Resolved fluid film model as well. The simulation results show a good agreement with the experiment and the wave range of water level is within 2 mm. Besides, there was no water intrusion risks of the air conditioning (AC) inlet and the wiper motor.
