Direct numerical simulations and stability analysis of vortex-dominated flows around complex geometries

This thesis deals with the application of both stability techniques and Direct Numerical Simulation to the understanding of vortex dynamics around complex geometries of practical engineering interest, specifically in the context of race car aerodynamics. The instability analysis of trailing vortices...
