| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Massively parallel Large-Eddy Simulation of flow around road vehicles were conducted considering their complicated geometry and interaction among various trailing vortices generated as a result of the boundary layer separation on the vehicle's surface were investigated, with its focus on their unsteady feature. Fully unstructured finite volume method coupled with vehicle's 6DoF motion and driver's reaction model were developed and utilized for the study. Mode decomposition methods like POD or DMD were applied to the transient numerical results and dominant instability modes of various trailing vortices and their relationship with vehicle's dynamic motion were revealed. Based on the obtained knowledge, strategic flow optimization method to realize both reduction of aerodynamic drag and improvement of high-speed stability or cross-wind safety was proposed.
