FLOW ANALYSIS OF OVERTAKING VEIDCLES: CFD STUDY

The aerodynamic forces occurring when one road vehicle overtakes another are to be investigated using two-dimensional (2D) computational fluid dynamics. Although a lot of researches have been carried on the aerodynamics of the flow of overtaking vehicles, very little information is available on f...
