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.
It is our pleasure to present these proceedings for "The
Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles II: Trucks, Buses and Trains"
International Conference held in Lake - hoe, California, August
26-31, 2007 by Engineering Conferences International (ECI). Brought
together were the world's leading scientists and engineers from
industry, universities, and research laboratories, including truck
and high-speed train manufacturers and operators. All were gathered
to discuss computer simu- tion and experimental techniques to be
applied for the design of the more efficient trucks, buses and
high-speed trains required in future years. This was the second
conference in the series. The focus of the first conference in 2002
was the interplay between computations and experiment in minimizing
ae- dynamic drag. The present proceedings, from the 2007
conference, address the development and application of advanced
aerodynamic simulation and experim- tal methods for
state-of-the-art analysis and design, as well as the development of
new ideas and trends holding promise for the coming 10-year time
span. Also - cluded, are studies of heavy vehicle aerodynamic
tractor and trailer add-on - vices, studies of schemes to delay
undesirable flow separation, and studies of - derhood thermal
management.
