Large eddy simulations (LES) were made of flows around a generic ground vehicle with sharp edges at the rear end (an Ahmed body with a 25 angle of the rear slanted surface). Separation of the flow at the rear results in large regions with recirculating flow. As the separation is determined by the geometry, the Reynolds number effects are minimized. Resolution requirements of this recirculating flow are smaller than those in LES of wall attached flows. These two consequences of the geometry of the body are used to predict the experimental flow at relatively high Reynolds number. Recommendations are presented for the preparation and realization of LES for vehicle flows. Comparison of the LES results with the experimental data shows good agreement.
