CFD simulation of a crosswind gust
Kroupa, Michal ; Vančura, Jan (referee) ; Čavoj, Ondřej (advisor)
This thesis deals with the investigation of unsteady effects on vehicle that has been exposed to a crosswind gust. First crosswind velocity function was created, which is a function of both time and space. A comparison of continual and trapeze gust model was carried out. Next step was to compare unsteady and quasi-steady evolution of the aerodynamic loads using accumulated forces, surface pressures and flow field around the car. The penultimate part deals with investigation of unsteady behaviour of drag and in the last part the influence of rear geometry of the car on unsteady phenomena was investigated.
