To investigate the flow over the truck, a 1:20 scale double trailer truck model was designed and constructed from chipboard for wind tunnel experiments. The overall size of the model is 1100 mm long, 130 mm wide and 215 mm high. A same scale numerical model was also built for computational simulations. 2014-07-31T11:17:58Z 2014-07-31T11:17:58Z 2000 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5456 eng application/pdf Department of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
