The goal of the proposed activities is to develop and demonstrate the ability to simulate and analyze aerodynamic flow around heavy truck vehicles using existing and advanced computational fluid dynamics (CFD) tools. The final products are validated CFD tools that can be used to reduce aerodynamic drag of heavy truck vehicles and thus improve their fuel efficiency. The project is divided into two related and overlapping efforts: Advanced Computations and Experiments of Benchmark Geometries Evaluation of Current and New Technologies. Each effort has near-term deliverables as well as longer-term goals. The computations and experiments will provide rapid results for simple benchmark geometries, and will advance to more complex geometries. The evaluation of current and new technologies will provide continued assessment for promising emerging technology.
