A research into the flow and vortex structures around vehicles during overtaking maneuver with lift force included

A simulation model of overtaking maneuvers is established to research into the flow and vortex structures around two identical Ahmed vehicles. The simulation demonstrates how the flow and vortex structures generate and change, which influences the aerodynamical coefficients of the vehicles most. In...
