Ahmed Body Challenge
1. AHMED BODY AND ITS IMPORTANCE Ahmed body is a simplified car body. The Ahmed Body was first created by S.R. Ahmed. The shape provides a model to study geometric effects on the wakes of ground vehicles. They are a kind of baseline geometry for automobile bodies. They have some important practical features…

Steady Vs Unsteady flow over a cylinder
Results for steady state conditions: Residuals Plot: Vertex Average of velocity magnitude as a function of iterations: OBSERVATIONS: It is clear from the graph that the solution has been converged. Cannot find Strouhal number because this is taken in steady state condition. Difficult to find the vertex magnitude at a particular…

Week 2 - Boundary and Initial Conditions
Initial conditions: specifies the property of the function for at a particular time. (to single out a particular physical solution from the general solution) eg:for equation y\"\'+3y\"-y\'+y=sinx , consider initial condition y(0)=0,y\'(0)=3, y\"(0)=5 where all the conditions are gven at x=0. The PDE goes upto the…
