"PANS and DES of a Simplified Heavy-Duty Vehicle. Comparison and an Active Flow Control Application" - Performed dynamic full vehicle external aerodynamic CFD simulations -Developed correlation for external aerodynamic simulation results with experimental data (PIV) -Accessed how viable is the application of zero net mass flux pulsating synthetic jet in mitigating flow separation and consequently enhancing the aerodynamic performance of a generic heavy-duty during close to real conditions
