The aerodynamic performance of a platoon of lorries in close-proximity during an overtaking manoeuvre

The aerodynamic performance of a platoon of lorries in close-proximity during an overtaking manoeuvre

For the first time, this paper examines the aerodynamic forces that arise in a platoon of Heavy Goods Vehicle lorries travelling in close proximity during an overtaking manoeuvre. Through an in-depth programme of wind tunnel experiments it is demonstrated that there is a complex relationship between...
