Wake Structures and Surface Patterns of the DrivAer Notchback Car Model under Side Wind Conditions

The flow field topology of passenger cars considerably changes under side wind conditions. This changes the surface pressure, aerodynamic force, and drag and performance of a vehicle. In this study, the flow field of a generic passenger vehicle is investigated based on three different side wind angl...
