Abstract

The study of the aerodynamics of ground-vehicles has greatly benefitted from computational fluid dynamics (CFD). However, in practice, there are some hurdles that remain to be overcome before CFD can be fully established as a design tool. The paper will review some of the recent developments in the CFD modeling of the subject flow under several important themes outlined below.
