Bio-mimetic flow control for drag reduction on a vehicle

Bio-mimetic flow control for drag reduction on a vehicle

  • AMD lift responding to reversed flow
  • Separation delayed up to trailing edge of AMD
  • Recirculation core(low pressure region) move away, and two longitudinal vortices was attenuated by AMD
  • Base pressure is recovered drag reduction
