Abstract
From the late twentieth century, spark-ignition engine powered Indian auto-rickshaw is treated as the most common mode of transportation for rural and urban area activities. This three-wheeler vehicle is found to be an economic mode of transport for shorter distances. This study focuses on the flow visualization over the vehicle using smoke based visualization technique. The visualization is achieved by using a monochromatic laser sheet on the vehicle with seeding particles at various operating conditions. This visualization study helps researchers to understand the external flow physics. The results in terms of flow pattern obtained with the visualization gives an understanding of the wake formation by the vehicle. The results also indicate the presence of complex flow around the vehicle.
