Application of RNG k-ε Turbulence Model on Numerical Simulation in Vehicle External Flow Field

Abstract:

The two turbulence models were used to numerically simulate the external flow field around the Ahmed standard car model, and the aerodynamic drag and lift coefficients and aerodynamic characteristics around model were obtained. By comparison between the simulation results and the corresponding wind tunnel test data, the differences of two turbulence models were analyzed. The results indicated the simulation result of RNG k-εturbulence model is more precision, and it is more suitable on numerical simulation in vehicle external flow field. The conclusions provide reference for how to select turbulence model.
