Application Challenge 1-05 © copyright ERCOFTAC 2004


Overview of CFD Simulations

CFD simulations have developed rapidly during the writing of the present document, during the MOVA consortium and in the frame of the 9th and 10th ERCOFTAC-IAHR Workshop on Refined Turbulence Modeling organized in Darmstad, Germany and Poitiers, France, in 2001 and 2002, respectively. These workshops were organized under the auspices of the Special Interest Group 15 on Turbulence Modeling of ERCOFTAC. The proceedings of the 10th ERCOFTAC-IAHR Workshop can be found at:

http://labo.univ-poitiers.fr/informations-lea/Workshop-Ercoftac-2002/Index.html

For the 10th ERCOFTAC-IAHR Workshop, several recommendations were made to the groups participating in the CFD calculations. Among them the recommendation to extend the computational domain up to 5 times the car length downstream of the body, and the possibility to omit the stilts.

Many of the CFD results are considered by the authors themselves as preliminary computations and were therefore not inserted into the knowledge base.

The geometry is simple enough to be satisfactorily represented.

RANS modelling.

In-house code STREAM, which is a finite volume solver which uses a structured, non-orthogonal curvilinear, multi block grid and a fully collocated arrangement. The SIMPLE pressure correction method and Rie & Chow interpolation are used to prevent unrealistic pressure fluctuations. The convection terms are discretized using an upwind scheme or a TVD scheme based on the third-order QUICK scheme
