This paper presents a study on the flow dynamics involving vehicle interactions. In order to do so, this first explores aerodynamic prediction capabilities of popular turbulence models used in computational fluid simulations tandem objects and thus, ultimately framework for CFD ground platooning using realistic model, DrivAer. Considering availability experimental data, simulation methodology i...

This paper conducts an analysis of the aerodynamic influence different ground and wheel states on Notchback DrivAer by numerical simulation. The effects moving rotating wheels are investigated individually comprehensively. Experimental data also included for validation. Through this study, a unique important low-drag state is observed, in which vehicle wake near center region becomes more symme...

The turbulent flow over the DrivAer fastback model is here investigated with an order-adaptive discontinuous Galerkin (DG) method. growing need of high-fidelity simulations for accurate determination problems, e.g., vehicle aerodynamics, promoted research on models and methods to improve computational efficiency bring practice Scale Resolving Simulations (SRS), like large-eddy simulation (LES),...
