The characteristics of aerodynamic and aero noise of stationary tire are investigated using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and wind tunnel tests. A positive lift coefficient of almost 0.27 was found at all tested Reynolds numbers, while the drag coefficient was twice as large. The averaged press...
