Characterization of the Near-Wake of an Ahmed Body Profile
نویسندگان
چکیده
In aerovehicles context, the flow around an Ahmed body profile is simulated using the velocity-vorticity formulation of the Navier-Stokes equations, associated to a penalization method for solids and Large Eddy Simulation for turbulence. The study focuses both on the ground influence on the flow and on the dissymetry of the wake, observed for a ground clearance greater than 10% of the body heightH . Unsteady and mean flows are presented and analyzed. POD study completes the analysis and gives information on the most energetic structures of the flow. Keywords—Ahmed body, bi-stability, LES, near wake.

EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF DRAG REDUCTION ON AHMED MODEL USING A COMBINATION OF ACTIVE FLOW CONTROL METHODS
Aerodynamic drag is an important factor in vehicles fuel consumption. Pressure drag which is the main component of total drag is a result of boundary layer separation from vehicle surface. Flow control methods are applied to avoid or at least delay separation. Depending upon whether these methods consume energy to control the flow or not, they are called active or passive control methods. In th...
متن کاملA semi-analytical model for velocity profile at wind turbine wake using blade element momentum
The shape of wake behind a wind turbine is normally assumed to have a hat shape for the models used in wind farm layout optimization purposes; however, it is know from experimental tests and numerical simulations that this is not a real assumption. In reality, the results of actual measurements and detailed numerical simulation show that the velocity in wake region has a S-shape profile. The pr...

In addition, the changing trends of Strouhal number and the mixed length scale are depicted. All the experiments are conducted in the aerodynam...
متن کاملCharacterization of Olanzapine – Solid dispersions.
Aim: To enhance the aqueous solubility of olanzapine by using the Solid dispersion technique. Solid dispersions of Olanzapine were prepared by the dispersion method using using PGS and SSG as carriers. Drug:carrier ratios such as 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, 1:6, 1:8 and 1:10 were tried for optimization. Characterization was done by phase solubility, in vitro release, saturation solubility, permeation, wetta...
