A moving road vehicle is subjected to many fluid interferences caused by a number of external agents apart from the vehicle itself. Vehicles moving in proximity to a side wall is an interesting aspect that has been little investigated in the liter...

Description
This thesis focuses upon using a high-order finite-difference method on a structured overset grid to study flow features around a generic simplified car model adjusting mesh refinements, rear slant angles, solvers, and turbulence models. These pro...
Studying aerodynamics using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis of external flows is a crucial element in the design and development of modern-day road and racing vehicles. Although a plethora of both experimental and computational data re...
