The aerodynamic analysis of vehicles using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a powerful tool that is used to explore and investigate how air flow behaves around the vehicle, gives a qualitative idea of aerodynamic behavior and provides engineers with the information necessary to design the pieces that will be tested in the wind tunnel. This tec...

A computational study of the turbulent flow around a modified station wagon vehicle is presented in order to predict aerodynamic forces and to understand some details of the near wake. The geometrical model was obtained by a three-dimensional scanning process but excludes some details of the vehicle such as the engine bay and the underfloor was con...
