The importance of rear pillar geometry on fastback wake structures

The wake of a fastback type passenger vehicle is characterised by trailing vortices from the rear pillars of the vehicle. These vortices strongly influence all the aerodynamic coefficients. Working at model scale, using two configurations of the Davis model with different rear pillar radii, (sharp e...
