Abstract:

Using a prototype of a terrain vehicle as an example, a process for the simulation of flow around the exterior of a vehicle is performed with the aid of the ANSYS 5.6 commercial package (FLOTRAN module). The main steps involved in the simulation process, with a special emphasis on the influence of ground effect simulation, are reviewed. The results and conclusions are demonstrated by the computer-graphics visualization.

Keywords:

vehicle aerodynamics, CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics), ground effect.
