   Abstract : Every year over 1.35 Million lives are lost to road accidents. Trucks are probably the most dangerous vehicles on public roads due to their size and mass. 15% of all accidents involve trucks and the majority of victims are car occupants. READ MORE

5. 4. CFD Investigation of Aerodynamic Drag Reduction for an Unloaded Timber Truck

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Mekanisk värmeteori och strömningslära

   Author : Raffaele Colombi; [2018]
   Keywords : CFD; Aerodynamics; Drag Coefficient; Truck;

   Abstract : The road transport industry is facing a strong need for fuel consumption reduction, driven by the necessity of decreasing polluting emissions, such as CO2 and NOX, as well as coping with strict regulations and increasing fuel costs. For road vehicles the aerodynamic drag constitutes a major source of energy consumption, and for this reason improving the aerodynamic performance of the vehicle is an established approach for reducing fuel consumption and greenhouse gases emissions.
