Low-frequency wake dynamics for a square-back vehicle with side trailing edge tapers

In this paper, the effects of side trailing edge tapering on the wake of a simplified square-back vehicle are investigated. The tapered surfaces are reported to trigger a switch from a laterally asymmetric bi-stable wake to a vertically asymmetric stable wake. The wake structure reported in the lite...
