Underbody CFD analysis of a Saab 9-3

An interesting CFD analysis from 2 students of Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden.

They use CFD to test underbody modifications aimed at reducing aerodynamic drag. It is their Master's thesis in automotive engineering.

Haven't finished reading the whole document (88 pages) yet, but it is quite interesting thus far.

Enjoy !
