Reynolds-Averaged Navier–Stokes Simulations of Unyawed and Yawed Rotating Wheels

Aerodynamics has been an important aspect of the automotive industry for decades with the wheels being a notable contributing factor. They are responsible for up to 25% of the drag in the case of a general passenger car and up to 30%-50% for an open-wheeled race car.<br/> In this research, the aerodynamic characteristics of an isolated rotating...
