Influence of Regulating Seam on Aerodynamic Characteristics of Virtual Wind Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

A digital car model was taken as study object, and the influence of the regulating seam to an open type automobile wind tunnel was discussed by comparing simulation results with test data.The results show that the regulating seam changes the flow field around the collector, reduces the size of unsteady flow field and the flow in test section is uniformed better. Thus, the regulating seam shouldn’t be removed when simplifying the wind tunnel model in the simulation. This conclusion will provide theoretical basis and data support for better virtual reproduction and numerical simulation of a wind tunnel.
