Electronic files of Ahmed body experimental data?

JPBodner · September 8, 2011, 14:31

Does anyone know whether the experimental results of any of the experimental studies on the Ahmed blunt body are available in electronic form for the purposes of easy validation? Or, are any in hardcopy form that can be typed in manually?

But this link doesn't give lift and drag coefficient experimental data. Where could we find them?

The link does not provide lift and drag figures indeed. Probably because it was not measured. The purpose of the Ahmed body geometry - from my understanding - is in assessing wake detachment based on rear body slant angle.

The initial question did not relate to lift and drag figures...

I do not have knowledge of lift and drag figures for the Ahmed body. But I would like to have them...
