Howdy ! I'm wandering if I can simulate a scaled car model instead of its full scale, that I can save the time of computing the results ?

Size scaling does not reduce your computational cost & time because all other parameters will also scale with the size of the car.
The only way to reduce the computational cost is to reduce the computational domain, such as using a symmetry plane to model half a car. Or modelling only # meters upstream and # meters downstream of the car. |
