Abstract

Measurements were made of the base pressure distribution and the aerodynamic drag of a variety of 1/8-scale tractor-trailer truck models in a wind tunnel at yaw angles ranging from zero to twenty degrees. Base-drag coefficients and overall aerodynamic drag coefficients were calculated from this data after which the results are discussed.
