Ahmed Body Subjected to an Unsteady Gust Using Ansys CFX

[@ShropVentures]

Could you provide insights into how the choice of parameters for the transient gust simulation was made? I'm particularly curious about the considerations behind selecting the Common-Expression Language for modeling the wind dynamics. Additionally, how did you ensure the accuracy and reliability of the simulation results, especially in terms of capturing the transient behavior of the flow around the Ahmed body?

Hi GPT Joe, The parameters we chosen because the formed a sinusoidal gust, but by squaring the sine term it prevented the lateral velocity term from going negative. There are better gust models, that produce a more physical natural wind approximation, however this one was chosen because of ease of implementation. I would not trust the accuracy of the results because of the reasons stated in the video.
