A cavity at the base of the squareback Ahmed model at Re≃ 4× 10 5 is able to reduce the
base suction by 18% and the drag coefficient by 9%, while the flow at the separation …

Numerical simulations of the turbulent flow over the flat backed Ahmed model at Reynolds
number is obtained. It is accompanied by a large elongation of the recirculation inside the …

The use of rear cavities at the base of a square-back Ahmed body has been experimentally
evaluated as a passive control device under cross-wind conditions with yaw angles β≤ 10° …

We study the aerodynamics of a blunt-based body with rear flexibly-hinged rigid flaps,
subject to a turbulent flow of Reynolds number R e= 12000, under aligned and cross flow …

We demonstrate how the self-sustained oscillation of a confined jet in a thin cavity can be
quantitatively described by a zero-dimensional model of the delay differential equation type …

We present a numerical study on the fluid–structure interaction of an incompressible laminar
flow around a slender blunt-based body implementing a rear cavity of flexible plates. The …

The near-wake flow field downstream of a square-back car model is analyzed to investigate
on the combined effect of horizontal and vertical deflectors. Aerodynamic coefficients and …

Near-wakes of axisymmetric cylinders with slanted base were investigated in wind tunnel
experiments for an upsweep angle of 28°. Effects of splitter-plate, cavity, and flaps on the …

This paper presents a numerical study of drag reduction technique using passive flow
device around a realistic car model. The model used in this investigation is Ahmed body, at …

A semicircular grooved cavity is designed for controlling the base pressure and hence the
base drag in case of a backward facing step. This paper presents the effect of the continuous …
