High-sided vehicles experience sudden changes in aerodynamic forces when passing
through the wake of towers of bridges under crosswind. This may lead, in the worst case, to …

Large bridges' decks often exhibit different adhesion coefficients in complex environments,
which are frequently accompanied by significant crosswind effects. This results in a complex …

China has committed to peaking its CO 2 emissions by 2030 in order to achieve its 2060
carbon neutrality target. Heavy-duty trucks (HDTs) are an important area to decarbonize …

Vehicle aerodynamics and dynamics in gusty crosswind conditions are of increasing
significance for the lateral stability of heavy ground vehicles, especially articulated heavy …

The drag reduction performance of a half airfoil attached to a trailer and the roof fairing at
different positions was experimentally investigated in a wind tunnel. Half airfoils have NACA …

The aerodynamic drag of a “common” European heavy truck equipped with Front-Rear
trailer device, earlier designed by the authors with numerical simulations, was investigated …

Aerodynamic drag reduction is required with new stringent constraints on pollutant
emissions and fuel efficiency of ground vehicles. In this context, active flow control is a …

Vehicles, in particular high-sided lorries and trucks, can be at risk of wind-induced accidents
such as overturning and/or side slip, especially on exposed sites such as embankments …

From advanced fairing designs and spoilers to novel airflow management systems, the
quest for drag reduction (DR) in truck trailers is critical for cleaner and more sustainable …

The study proposes an active trailer steering control method for tractor semitrailers to
promote the path tracking effect of the trailer portion as well as lateral stability during lane …
