The Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles III

This volume contains papers presented at the International conference The Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles III: Trucks, Buses and Trains held in Potsdam, Germany, September 12-17, 2010 by Engineering Conferences International (ECI). Leading scientists and engineers from industry, universities and research laboratories, including truck and high-speed train manufacturers and operators were brought together to discuss computer simulation and experimental techniques to be applied for the design of more efficient trucks, buses and high-speed trains in the future.

This conference was the third in the series after Monterey-Pacific Groove in 2002 and Lake Tahoe in 2007.The presentations address different aspects of train aerodynamics (cross wind effects, underbody flow, tunnel aerodynamics and aeroacoustics, experimental techniques), truck aerodynamics (drag reduction, flow control, experimental and computational techniques) as well as computational fluid dynamics and bluff body, wake and jet flows.

Proceedings of "The Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles III: Trucks, Buses and Trains", held September, 2010 in Potsdam, Germany Presents the current state of computational fluid dynamics and experimental fluid dynamics technology as they might apply to the design of heavy vehicles, including trucks, buses and trains Written by experts in the field Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
