A combination of passive and active methods is used to manipulate the symmetry of the
turbulent wake of an Ahmed body. Dedicated experiments to study the wake reversals …

Abstract The capability of Large Eddy Simulations (LES), Improved Delayed Detached Eddy
Simulations (IDDES) and Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Equations (RANS) to predict …

The dynamics of the wake behind a flat-back Ahmed body are modified using a large-scale
fluidic oscillator, aiming at drag reduction and the reflectional symmetry breaking (RSB) …

The bi-modal behaviour of the turbulent flow past three-dimensional blunt bluff bodies is
simulated using wall-resolved large eddy simulations. Bi-modality (also called bi-stability) is …

The paper investigates experimentally the flow past a flat-back, taller than wide Ahmed body
having rectangular base aspect ratio defined from regions where the mean lateral force …

Large-eddy simulations are used to investigate the origin of the wake asymmetry and
symmetry behind notchback Ahmed bodies. Two different effective backlight angles,, are …

Square-back shapes are popular in the automotive market for their high level of practicality.
These geometries, however, are usually characterised by high drag and their wake …

In this paper, the unsteady wake of a simplified square-back vehicle, with and without
wheels, is investigated using large-scale tomographic particle image velocimetry, at a …

Wake modes of a three-dimensional blunt-based body near a wall are investigated at a
Reynolds number states in the horizontal (respectively vertical) direction, while bistable …

We propose an aerodynamic force model associated with a Galerkin model for the unforced
fluidic pinball, the two-dimensional flow around three equal cylinders with one radius …
