Abstract

Wind tunnel experiments, with emphasis on cross-wind effects, have been used to evaluate the effectiveness of a number of commercially available devices for reducing the aerodynamic drag of a tractor-trailer combination. The evaluations included consideration of the effects of tractor type, trailer height, and the bluffness of the tractors and/or trailers.
