Computational fluid dynamics simulation of Hyperloop pod predicting laminar–turbulent transition

Abstract Three-dimensional compressible flow simulations were conducted to develop a Hyperloop pod. The novelty is the usage of Gamma transition model, in which the transition from laminar to turbulent flow can be predicted. First, a mesh dependency study was undertaken, showing second-order converg...
