CFD-Based Assessment of the Aerodynamic Influence of a Front Deflector on Drag, Lift, and Propulsion Power in a Medium-Duty Freight Truck
Reducing aerodynamic drag on medium-duty freight trucks is essential for improving fuel efficiency; however, the relationship between local flow modification, aerodynamic loads, and propulsion-power demand has not yet been sufficiently quantified. This study evaluates the aerodynamic influence of a front deflector on a...
