Abstract

A test technique was developed and a test programme conducted to measure the transient aerodynamic inputs to a parked vehicle as it is passed by a bus. Time histories we obtained of the side force, drag force and lift force together with the pitching moment, yawing moment and rolling moment for a large number of test conditions.
