TITLE : AUTOMOTIVE AERODYNAMICS : EXTERNAL FLOWFIELD AROUND A SALOON CAR

BY : CHAM Consultancy Team - R Lightfoot
DATE : 1988
PHOENICS Version : 1.5

DETAILS :

• Three-Dimensional Steady flow
• Curvilinear (BFC) computational grid

NOTES :

• Simplified analysis of external fluid flow around a BMW 500 series car
• Inlet condition is a constant mass flux : Outlet a fixed pressure one
• K-e Turbulence model is used, with standard log-law functions at the vehicle surface
