This study was performed to analyze the effect on driving performance by identifying the flow characteristics of the rear diffuser such as drag coefficient, lift coefficient, velocity vector, velocity streamlines, turbulence kinetic energy and vortex-core region according to the angle of the sedan rear diffuser and the shape of the divider. The angle of the diffuser was analyzed at 2° intervals from 0° to 18°, and the divider was analyzed by changing from one to five. The three-dimensional modeling was performed using CATIA V5 and the vehicle model was selected as a sedan car in the form of an LF Sonata. The CFD analysis was performed in order to identify the flow characteristics of rear diffuser using ANSYS CFX 14.5.7. For each model, the analysis was performed under each condition with speeds of 80km/h, 100km/h, 120km/h, 140km/h. The results of the flow analysis showed that the rear diffuser angle was the best result in driving stability at 6°. The results of the study on the number of dividers showed the best result value in driving stability when the rear diffuser angle was 6° and the divider was 3 and selected as the optimal shape.
