This paper investigates the aerodynamics of the boxfish to discover if the boxfish shape can be adapted for achieving low drag and energy efficient motor vehicle design. Through the usage of CAD modeling and CFD modeling data, this data proved that indicates that the drag coefficient of a boxfish is around 0.10 which is significantly lower than current drag coefficient of a passenger car. This research is valuable in making more efficient designs for humans.
