BI-STABLE STATES IN THE WAKE OF A SIMPLIFIED GROUND TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM (GTS) MODEL
Övrigt konferensbidrag, 2017

Recent experimental investigations of [1] in the wake of a Ground Transportation System (GTS) model has shown that the near wake topology is invariant over a large range of Reynolds numbers. A large eddy simulation (LES) is thus undertaken to investigate the flow topology in the near wake. In the vertical midplane behind the model, a flow state which is anti-symmetric to that reported in [1] is observed here, confirming the possibility of occurrence of bi-stable flow. Interestingly, the flow topology remains invariant to any increase in the gap height from the standard case, indicating that the underbody flow does not influence the bistable behaviour. Furthermore, the flow was also found to be insensitive to the incoming flow at a small yaw angle.
