Verification & Validation

An excellent way of validating simulations is by comparing them to research papers which are relevant. Since the Ahmed body is so widely studied and used as validation, it is not difficult to find supporting evidence. For this tutorial, the information gathered from the simulation will be compared to “Embedded Large Eddy Simulation of Flow around the Ahmed Body” by Domenico Caridi done in ANSYS FLUENT. Below is a contour of the pressure on the rear surface of the Ahmed body. This can be compared to our model by creating a similar contour in our simulation.
