TY - JOUR ID - TI - Experimental Determination of Drag Coefficient on Different Automobiles Geometry AU - Abdulhassan A.Karamallah AU - Abdessamed Kacem Wahab PY - 2011 VL - 29 IS - 15 SP - 3043 EP - 3057 JO - Engineering and Technology Journal مجلة الهندسة والتكنولوجيا SN - 16816900 24120758 AB - The undertaken research deals with an experimental determination of dragcoefficient for five car models. Experiments were run within a subsonic aspiration wind tunnel, covering an air speed up to 33m/s.Drag coefficients of 0.45, 0.39, 0.53, 0.34 and 0.68 for Mercedes SEL300, Hyundai, Toyota, Pajero, and Mini-Bus models were obtained respectively.The flow field around the pre-quoted models with a qualitative description about the flow visualization for car models using a subsonic smoke wind tunnel has been accomplished.
