  2. Introduction • Introduction to Fluent 6.2 and Gambit 2.2 • Ahmed Vehicle Model • Aerodynamic Influence of the Rear End Inclination Angle and Rear End Shape • 1989 Ford Escort • Wind Tunnel Test Simulation • Compare the Wind Tunnel Test Results to: • Ahmed Vehicle Model • ME 143 Course Text: Theory of Ground Vehicle 3rd Edition, J.Y. Wong • MSC VisualNastran4d Simulation • Escort’s Dynamics when the Front Lift Force > Rear Lift Force • WorkingModel 2D Simulation • Escort’s Dynamics when the Front Lift Force > Rear Lift Force

  3. Fluent 6.2 / Gambit 2.2 • Fluent 6.2 and Gambit 2.2 Are Used to Create Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) Simulations • ME 296 – Course on Fluent and Gambit • Fluent and Gambit located in RVR 4001 • Tutorials Available • Gambit 2.2 • Create the Model’s Geometry • Create the Model’s Mesh • Set Boundary Conditions • Export Your Gambit File to Fluent for CFD Simulation • You Are Able to Import Geometry from SolidWorks, ProEngineer, and AutoCAD • Fluent 6.2 • Define Model’s Solver, Energy Equation, Laminar / Turbulent Flow • Set the Material’s Physical Valve – Fluid or Solid • Define the Boundary Conditions • Run Simulation • Mathematical Equations, Assumptions, Physical Parameters, etc… can be found in the Fluent Documentation located in RVR 4001

  4. Fluent 6.2 Examples Fluid Flow Over a Military Aircraft Fluid Flow Over a Car Tire Space Aircraft Entry Into Mars Fluid Flow Over an SUV

  5. Ahmed Vehicle Model • Ahmed Vehicle Model Was Used to Study Vehicle Aerodynamics • Experimental Wind Tunnel Test • CFD Simulation Wind Tunnel Test • Aerodynamic Influence of the Rear End Inclination Angle and Rear End Shape Was Studied

  6. Ahmed Vehicle Model - Rear End Inclination AngleResults Show That as The Angle Increases The Aerodynamic Drag IncreasesF. Chometon1 20 deg 30 deg 12 deg 12 deg 20 deg 30 deg

  7. Ahmed Vehicle Model - Rear End ShapeResults Show That Adding a Rear End Deck, Spoiler, and New End Spoiler The Aerodynamic Drag Decreases. It Should Be Noted That In Some Cases Adding A Spoiler Will Cause The Front Drag Lift Force to Become Greater Than The Rear Drag Lift Force; Causing The Vehicle To Rollover. H.

  34. MSC VisualNastran 4D Front Drag Lift Simulation Results: Fluent Calculated the Rear Drag Lift to be Approx 891N. Therefore, to Simulate the Vehicle’s Front From Lifting Off The Road The Front Drag Lift Needs to Be Greater Than 891N. VisualNastran 4D Calculated this Force to be 3x105 N. Click On Image to Start Video VisualNastran 4D Calculated That the Impulse Force Between the Escort’s Body and Road will Be a Maximum 200,000 (kg m)/s
