Description
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is currently viewed as one of the major tools for investigating aerodynamics of road vehicles. In spite of its well-documented limitations in predicting flows involving complex geometries and flow separations, th...
Road vehicle aerodynamics are primarily focused on developing and modeling performance at steady-state conditions, although this does not fully encompass the entire operating envelope. Considerable vehicle acceleration and deceleration occurs duri...
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of complex external flows is an important component of road vehicle design and development. The Reynolds Averaged Navier Stokes (RANS) turbulence modeling is widely used in the automotive industry for si...
