Abstract

This paper presents numerical simulations for the prediction of the flow around the Ahmed body, with the 25\(^\circ \) and 35\(^\circ \) slant angles, obtained with the flow solver ISIS-CFD. A RANS (Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes) turbulence model, as EARSM (Explicit Algebraic Stress Model) and two hybrid RANS-LES models, as DES (Detached Eddy Simulation) and IDDES (Improved Delay Detached Eddy Simulation) models, are used. All these turbulence models are based on the k-\(\omega \) model. The use of a hybrid RANS-LES model, and more particularly the IDDES model, offers an advantage over RANS models in term of the force coefficients, and general flow field.
