Experimental study of wheel-vehicle aerodynamic interactions

摘要

This work aims to provide a better understanding of the wheel-vehicle aerodynamic interaction, via experimental investigations on a 2/5-th scale vehicle equipped with 2/5-th scale rotating wheels. The findings demonstrate that the baseline configuration has a well-balanced wake, which means that the distribution of TKE in the symmetrical plane of the vehicle wake is symmetric in the upper and lower shear layers.
