Computational fluid dynamic analysis of truck trailer combination on drag reduction / Mohamad Tajudin Sallehudin
Aerodynamic forces are important aspects that need to be considered in the study of a road vehicle design. The present study focuses on the effect ofbasic truck trailer, truck trailer with air deflector and tuck trailer with air deflector and air frame at different velocity with reference to drag co...
