1604 Aerodynamic characteristics of trucks under gusty winds
Details
Non-stationary responses of the models subjected to accelerated flow was investigated with increasing yaw angle, as well as stationary responses. The accelerated flow was realized by using a multi-fan wind tunnel with 99 small fans. The models used were rectangular prisms and a scale model of similar shape to a real truck. In the non-stationary measurements, a basic case with a small initial velocity near zero is compared with other cases with some considerable initial velocity.
