... a wing-attached hatchback ground vehicle (Ahmed body) due to a variable slant angle is accessed by this paper. The design includes a scaled Ahmed body as a reference ground vehicle and a rear wing with NACA 0018 profile. The computational studies are executed with Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes based k...

... rounded surface of the Ahmed body, experimentally demonstrated by Gilliéron et al. ( 22 ), are not represented; the simulation exclusively focuses on the vortices, which appear on the rear window and on the base of the vehicle. The consequence of this limitation is that the boundary layer thicknesses...
