Influence of short rear end tapers on the wake of a simplified square-back vehicle: wake topology and rear drag

As vehicle manufacturers work to reduce energy consumption of all types of vehicles, external vehicle aerodynamics has become increasingly important. Whilst production vehicle shape optimisation methods are well developed, the need to make further advances requires deeper understanding of the highly...
