Abstract:As the air flow reaches the rear part of the vehicle the flow will undergo separation generated by friction and fluid viscosity, and creating wake, considerably large turbulent area with low pressure at the rear of the vehicle which results in pressure drag which can reduce vehicle performance. The research was carried out with a computational and experimental approach. The test model used in this study is a model of a family van model which is a modification of the Ahmed body model. The rear part of the vehic… Show more
