Computational investigation into the sensitivity of a simplified vehicle wake to small base geometry changes

For vehicles with a squareback geometry, for example Sports Utility Vehicles (SUVs), base pressure drag is a large contributor to overall drag. Simple passive techniques, such as tapering, can reduce drag significantly but at a large aesthetic and functional cost. Therefore, very small base geometry...
