Turbulent flows are characterised by a large range of vortical structures at different scales, both in time and space, which interact with each other and exchange energy. The largest scales contain most of the kinetic energy for the flow. As larger structures are broken into smaller ones, this energy is transferred to…

Describe Ahmed's body and its importance. -->As the burning of fossil fuels becomes a more pressing issue, manufacturers are introducing more fuel efficient cars to the market. One main contributor to fuel burn is the car’s aerodynamic drag. Complexly shaped, cars are very challenging to model and it’s difficult…

1.What are the approaches by which you would model moving zones? Moving Reference Frame (MRF) The MRF model is the simplest of the two approaches for multiple zones. It is a steady-state approximation in which individual cell zones move at different rotational and/or translational speeds. The flow in each moving cell zone…
