Improvement of the aerodynamic behavior of a sport utility vehicle numerically by using some modifications and aerodynamic devices

Abstract The present study proposes aerodynamically optimized exterior designs of a sport utility vehicle using computational fluid dynamics analysis based on steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes turbulence models. To achieve an optimal design, modifications of the outer shape and adding som...
