CFD analysis of splitter plate on bluff body

The blunt base either in the front or at the rear portion of the vehicles is prevalent and is found in railways where the front and rear portions the coaches are blunt, which results in zero velocity and hence the stagnation pressure, which is undesirable. The aim of this study is to investigate th...
