(some col.) ;c30 cm. +e1 computer disc  aProject paper (Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering with Automotive) -- Universiti Malaysia Pahang - 20083 Aerodynamic  shape/design  of  a  car  is  one  of  the  factors  that  determine  the performance of  the car. Vehicle which  is not aerodynamically  enough will produce high drag force. This project focused on what happen at the A-pillar or specifically at side  mirror  is  investigate  and  the  resulted  drag  force  is  analyzed.  This  study investigates  and  analyzes  the  flow  and drag  force of  side mirror on hybrid  electric vehicle  (HEV)  Proton  Iswara  model.  The  investigation  is  carried  out  by computational  studies  for a simplified  three dimensional model of Proton  Iswara at different  velocity.  The model was  created  by  using CAD  and  analyzed with  CFD software. There were two models that were done which is the body of the car without the side mirror and  the body of  the car with side mirror. The measurement  is  taken from  real  dimension  and  sketch  in  CFD  software.  The  sketch  then  is  going  into simulation  process  at  different  case.  The  car  is  subjected  to  the velocity  from  40 km/h to 110 km/h which  is allowed in Malaysia’s road regulation. The A-pillar area is studied based on airflow, drag force, pressure contour on door mirror and surface of the car and also in terms of aeropower. With the presence of the side mirror at A-pillar area, the drag force will increase as having more frontal area and will be higher if  the  shape  of  the  side mirror  is  not  aerodynamic.  Increasing  the  drag  force/drag coefficient will make more  power  is  needed  in  order  to  overcome  the  drag  force created. Thus, fuel consumption will be higher as  the sources that give power to  the car  to  overcome  the  drag  and  move  freely.    The  results  from  the  computational studies are analyzed, interpret and validate with other corresponding journals 0aAutomobilesxAerodynamics
