Summary and Conclusion
摘要
Today, economic and ecologic concerns drive aerodynamic development in production vehicles. While drag optimization is carried out in steady-state environments, it does in fact not represent actual on-road drag well, as the on-road flow state is characterized by unsteady turbulence. In order to evaluate realistic vehicle drag, gust generation systems in wind tunnels have been used in the past, as well as CFD simulations in a blockage-free environment.
