Flow Simulation and Investigation Around a Estate Vehicle Using Hybrid Methods - Delassaux, Francois; Mortazavi, Iraj; Herbert, Vincent; Ribes, Charles (Volume 2: Multiphase Flow (MFTC); Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFDTC); Micro and Nano Fluid Dynamics (MNFDTC))
Abstract In this work hybrid RANS/LES methods are adapted in order to simulate the flow around a realistic car geometry (estate vehicle). Numerical results are compared to in-house experiments. In order to achieve an accurate understanding of the flow behavior around the car geometry, a wide range of experiments are performed measuring forces, pressure coefficients and tomography for 3D description of the flow in the wake of the body.
