Fig. 1: Ahmed model. Dimensions are in mm (Fig. from [4])


Description of the testcase: The Ahmed body (Fig. 1) was first defined and its characteristics described in the experimental work of Ahmed [1]. Two configurations with slant angles of 25°and 35°are considered as a test case. For this configurations detailed LDA Measurements have been performed by Becker, Lienhart and Stoots [2,3] in the LSTM low-speed wind-tunnel with a Cross-section of 1.87x1.4 m2 (width x height) with a bluk velocity of 40 m/s. The test-section of the wind-tunnel was 3/4 open (only ground plate present). The distance between the body and the plate representing the ground is 50 mm.

A detailed test case description can be found here
