	%X This paper presents a CFD analysis of the flow field
around a thin flat plate of infinite span inclined at 90° to a fluid
stream of infinite extent. Numerical predictions have been compared
to experimental measurements, in order to assess the potential of the
finite volume code of determining the aerodynamic forces acting on a
bluff body invested by a fluid stream of infinite extent.
Several turbulence models and spatial node distributions have
been tested. Flow field characteristics in the neighborhood of the flat
plate have been investigated, allowing the development of a
preliminary procedure to be used as guidance in selecting the
appropriate grid configuration and the corresponding turbulence
model for the prediction of the flow field over a two-dimensional
vertical flat plate.
