Shape optimisation of teardrop trailers to minimise aerodynamic drag in articulated lorries

Shape optimisation of teardrop trailers to minimise aerodynamic drag in articulated lorries

A numerical and experimental study is conducted investigating the drag reduction performance of teardrop and tubercle trailers compared to a conventional trailer for 1:20 articulated lorry models in no-crosswind conditions. This study implements Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), Laser Doppler Anem...
