Aerodynamic drag reduction and flow control of Ahmed body with flaps

In this study, we attempted a novel drag reduction technique for 25° and 35° Ahmed models by experimenting with two types of flap structures, respectively, added to the slant edges of the two models. Different pairs of flaps were added at various angles compared to the slant for the sake of comparis...
