The dynamic driving condition of vehicle steering movement was achieved with Computational Fluid Dynamics. Through transient simulation analysis, the changes of aerodynamic resistance, pressure distribution, vortices and flow field during steering were obtained. The result shows that, there is an intersection angle between the aerodynamic resistance direction and the automobile movement direction, and the angle of it in this simulation is 10 °. The vortex on the outside is larger than that on the inside. The outer lateral vortex appears in front of the vehicle, while the inner lateral vortex is at the end of the vehicle. Compared with the steady simulation which based on the relative movement principle, this research provides a n
