Image shows a plane, called a Ju-87, from the German airplane maker Junkers.  The Junkers Ju 87 or Stuka was a Sturzkampfflugzeug (German: dive bomber, literally plunging combat aircraft) in World War II, easily recognizable by its inverted gull wings, fixed undercarriage and wailing siren — though the siren was only fitted to a few aircraft because of the extra drag induced on the rather slow aircraft.

Image meshed in Harpoon (3.5 million cells meshed in just over 2 minutes) and solved in FLUENT.  The STUKA is at 20 degrees attitude, extracted vortex cores and added white, square tubes.  Plane is colored by pressure. Image provided by Sharc.
