Particle-laden turbulent flows occur in various natural and industrial processes, highlighting the need for a comprehensive understanding of the interaction between the dispersed phase and the carrier flow. This study investigates the fluid dynamics of a simplified car side-view mirror model, experimentally analyzed using the particle tracking velocimetry technique in the laboratories of Delft University of Technology. Experimental measurements are used to validate a computational fluid dynamics model developed in the OpenFOAM environment. The overall objective of the research is to establish a benchmark for validating Eulerian–Lagrangian numerical models in terms of both flow dynamics and particle trajectories. In this study, the validation is limited to the Eulerian fields; validation of the discrete-phase modeling will be addressed in future work.
