The abstract, sentence by sentence
This study numerically investigates the aerodynamic forces and flow-induced noise generated by SAE-T4, Ahmed, and Hybrid forebody shapes with a squareback vehicle configuration using SBES-FW-H. The results show significant differences in lift coefficients and the presence of a horseshoe vortex at the mirror, with smaller eddies that interact with A-pillar vortices, resulting in pronounced pressure fluctuations and noise generation on the side window for the three configurations. Surprisingly, negligible differences in aerodynamic drag and radiated sound are predicted despite these effects.
