It is our pleasure to present these proceedings from the United
Engineering Foundation Conference on The Aerodynamics of Heavy
Vehicles: Trucks, Buses and Trains held December 2-6, 2002, in
Monterey, California. This Department of Energy, United Engineering
Foundation, and industry sponsored conference brought together 90
leading engineering researchers from around the world to discuss
the aerodynamic drag of heavy vehicles. Participants from national
labs, academia, and industry, including truck manufacturers,
discussed how computer simulation and experimental techniques could
be used to design more fuel efficient trucks, buses, and trains.
Conference topics included comparison of computational fluid
dynamics calculations using both steady and unsteady
Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes, large-eddy simulation, and hybrid
turbulence models and experimental data obtained from the
Department of Energy sponsored and other wind tunnel experiments.
Advanced experimental techniques including three-dimensional
particle image velocimetry were presented, along with their use in
evaluating drag reduction devices. We would like to thank the UEF
conference organizers for their dedication and quick response to
sudden deadlines. In addition, we would like to thank all session
chairs, the scientific advisory committee, authors, and reviewers
for their many hours of dedicated effort that contributed to a
successful conference and resulted in this document of the
conference proceedings. We also gratefully acknowledge the support
received from the United Engineering Foundation, the US Department
of Energy, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Volvo Trucks
America, International Truck and Engine Corporation, and
Freightliner LLC.
