Ahmed Body Challenge
AHMED BODY: The Ahmed body was described originally by S. R. Ahmed in 1984. Three main features were seen in the wake: 1. The A recirculation region that is formed as the flow separates at the top of the vertical back surface of the model 2. The B recirculation region is formed due to the separation at the base…
