Influence of short rear end tapers on the unsteady base pressure of a simplified ground vehicle by Giancarlo Pavia, Martin Passmore, Adrian P. Gaylard

“…In all configurations both the base and the slanted surfaces were covered with pressure taps for the entire width to ensure that any asymmetry was captured and two different sampling time were considered (respectively equal to 31.5 s and 630.0 s). The results show the effects produced on the base pressure by the presence of a long period bi-stable behavior, whose characteristics were further investigated by conditional averaging the recorded data and considering the distribution of the rms pressure values recorded over the entire model base.…”

Generation of Secondary Solitary Waves in the Variable-Coefficient Korteweg-de Vries Equation by Roger Grimshaw, S.R. Pudjaprasetya

In this paper we re-examine this latter case, and show that the trailing shelf, on a very long time-scale, can lead to the generation of small secondary solitary waves. …”
