Experimental and numerical aerodynamic investigation of a prototype vehicle

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

This study presents experimental and numerical aerodynamic investigation of a prototype vehicle. Aerodynamics forces examined which exerted on a prototype. This experimental study was implemented in a wind tunnel for the Reynolds number between 105-3.1x105. Numerical aerodynamic analysis of the vehicle is conducted for different Reynolds number by using FLUENT CFD software, with the k-ε realizable turbulence model. The studied model aims at verifying the aerodynamic forces between experimental and numerical results. After the Reynolds number of 2.8x105, the drag coefficient obtained experimentally becomes independent of Reynolds number and has a value of 0.25.
