Steady-state CFD simulation of Honda's concept car (PUYO), Part 3 of 3 (Calculation Results)

Honda makes it possible for us to download the 3D data of their concept cars at http://honda-3d.com.

In this case, I downloaded the 3D data of PUYO, and performed a steady-state simulation using simpleFoam.

The output from simpleFoam and the visualisations are as follows.
