Effects of Wheel Rotation on Long-Period Wake Dynamics of the DrivAer Fastback Model

Lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) simulations were performed to capture the long-period dynamics within the wake of a realistic DrivAer fastback model with stationary and rotating wheels. The simulations showed that the wake developed as a low-pressure torus regardless of whether the wheels were rotati...
