The drag reduction characteristic of air deflector of a heavy-duty vehicle is examined through CFD simulations and wind tunnel test in this paper. The CFD model of the truck is built using the FLUENT software and the simulation results are compared with the wind tunnel test data to verify the accuracy of simulation model. An air deflector is designed for this truck, A design of experiments approach was chosen as an efficient technique to optimize the design parameter and match with the truck to obtain the optimal drag reduction performance.
