Flow over a Mercedes Benz Actros Truck using StarCCM+
This project deals with simulating the flow around a Mercedes Benz Actros truck with and without the trailer attachment, We will be studying the production of wake and how the trailer attachment affects the wake produced by the tractor and the effect this has on the production of drag on the vehicle. Suitable reports and plots will be used to measure the drag coefficient and to assess convergence. Various post processing techniques can be used to provide animations that clearly show the flow patterns.

What will you do in this project?
Step 1 - Geometry clean up and surface wrapping
Step 2 - Wind tunnel creation
Step 3 - Meshing
Step 4 - Post processing
In this project, you will work on a Mercedes Benz Actros Truck and setup for cases with and without the trailer. The simulations will be run for both cases and the drag produced will be studied and analysed based on how separation takes place. The following steps will be followed for this project:
