Abstract:In this paper, numerical investigation is carried out on two-dimensional Ahmed body model using Computational Fluid Dynamics in ANSYS Fluent 19.1. The 2-D model is designed in Catia v5 for 25°, 35° and 45° slant angles. The turbulent model used to analyze the flow dynamics is Realizable k-ε model. The drag coefficient variation with respect to slant angle is computed. The skin friction coefficient, wall shear stress and frictional velocity are also calculated.
