Abstract (EN)
The ultimate goal of this work is to examine the turbulent, 3D flow around a bus-shaped body by means of CFD. Another goal of this study is to show the accordance between the numerical and experimental results. In the present study, RANS k-? turbulence model is employed to simulate the flow around the vehicle, and the results of the experiments performed by PIV are used to validate the corrections of the numerical simulation. A comparison of predicted results for time-averaged flow data, particularly, around the forward face of the model with the experimental results of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) showed that numerically predicted present results and experimental results agreed well. The flow is assumed to be incompressible, viscous, turbulent, and steady flow. Key Words: Aerodynamics, Bus, Reynolds Average Navier Stokes (RANS), k-? Turbulence Model
