Titre : Drag reduction of tractor-trailers using optimized add-on devices Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Fu-Hung Hsu, Auteur ; Roger L. Davis, Auteur Année de publication : 2010 Article en page(s) : 06 p. Note générale : fluids engineering Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : flow (dynamics)  turbulence  drag (fluid dynamics)  design  engineering simulation  vehicles  reduction  boats  fuel consumption Résumé : Tractor-trailers have a higher drag coefficient than other vehicles due to their bluff-body shape. Numerous add-on devices have been invented to help reduce drag and fuel consumption. The current research extends our previous idea of add-on humps and investigates their effect in conjunction with curved boat-tail flaps. Computational fluid dynamics in the form of unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes and detached-eddy simulations were used to determine viable design strategies. A 3D baseline computational model was constructed using an Ahmed body. Design optimization was applied on the new add-on devices. The results from the optimized design were shown to have a 50.9% reduction in drag coefficient.
