We present an overview of the aerodynamics of heavy vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, high-
speed trains, and buses. We introduce three-dimensional flow structures around simplified …

The flow around the three-dimensional blunt geometry presented in the work of Ahmed,
Ramm & Faitin (Tech. Rep., 1984) is investigated experimentally at, the wake presents weak …

The performance of bridges under strong wind and traffic is of great importance to set the
traveling speed limit or to make operational decisions for severe weather, such as …

We investigate a hierarchy of eddy-viscosity terms in proper orthogonal decomposition
(POD) Galerkin models to account for a large fraction of unresolved fluctuation energy …

Large-eddy simulation (LES) is made of the flow around a generic train model at two
different yaw angles of 90∘ and 35∘. The Reynolds numbers, based on the freestream …

Large eddy simulations (LES) were made of flows around a generic ground vehicle with
sharp edges at the rear end (an Ahmed body with a 25° angle of the rear slanted surface) …

The structure of the turbulent flow over a simplified automotive model, the Ahmed body (SR
Ahmed and G. Ramm, SAE Paper No. 8403001, 1984) with a 25 slanted back face, is …

This course material is used in two courses in the International Master's programme Applied
Mechanics at Chalmers. The two courses are TME226 Mechanics of fluids (Chapters 1-10 …

The present work extends the conservative convective scheme proposed by Charnyi et
al.(2017)[13], originally formulated for mixed finite elements and tested in laminar flows, to …

In recent years, the increasing interest in reducing the aerodynamic drag of vehicles, such
as station wagons, minivans or buses, has led research to focus on the characterization of …
