Aerodynamics of heavy vehicles

H Choi, J Lee, H Park - Annual Review of Fluid Mechanics, 2014 - annualreviews.org
We present an overview of the aerodynamics of heavy vehicles, such as tractor-trailers, high-
speed trains, and buses. We introduce three-dimensional flow structures around simplified …
