The following examples concern flows around different types of vehicles.
Right behind the vehicle, the flow separates and produces complex flow patterns, oscillating
in space and time. In many applications, the corresponding drag and lift forces acting on the vehicle
are of major interest, and a difficult numerical job to do! The complexity of the problem depends on the:
- inflow speed
- viscosity
- shape of the vehicle
- size and distance of the vehicle, w.r.t. to the street or the `wind tunnel'
A systematic variation of these different configurations is part of the following flow situations.
-
Comparison of different Reynolds numbers for the ASMO test car
(comprehensive version)
-
Comparison of different shapes for trucks (street version)
at low Reynolds number (comprehensive version)
-
Comparison of different shapes for trucks (street version)
at medium Reynolds number (comprehensive version)
-
Comparison of different shapes for trucks ("flying" version)
at medium Reynolds number (comprehensive version)
-
Flow around an (ASMO) test car at low Reynolds number (pre-study for a current
BMBF project)

Flow around an (ASMO) test car at medium Reynolds number (pre-study for a
current BMBF project)
-
