| With the rapid development of vehicle electrification, high-speed transportation, and intelligent mobility, vehicle aerodynamics, thermal management, and fire safety have become increasingly important for improving energy efficiency, operational reliability, and overall safety. The complex interactions among aerodynamic flow, heat transfer, energy systems, and fire evolution introduce significant challenges for the design and operation of next-generation vehicles, particularly in confined environments such as tunnels and underground transportation systems. This special session aims to provide an international platform for researchers, engineers, and industry experts to exchange the latest advances in vehicle aerodynamics, thermal management, and fire safety. The session focuses on fundamental mechanisms, advanced experimental techniques, numerical simulation methods, multi-physics coupling analysis, and engineering applications related to road vehicles, rail vehicles, and tunnel transportation systems. Furthermore, emerging intelligent technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, are encouraged for vehicle aerodynamic analysis, tunnel flow prediction, thermal safety assessment, performance optimization, and intelligent control. This session welcomes both theoretical developments and practical applications that contribute to the development of efficient, reliable, and safe vehicle technologies. |
