DOE's Effort to Reduce Truck Aerodynamic Drag-Joint Experiments and Computations Lead to Smart Design
McCallen, R. C.; Salari, K.; Ortega, J.; DeChant, L.; Hassan, B.; Jun. 22, 2004; 22 pp.; In English Report No.(s): DE2005-15014289; UCRL-CONF-204819; No Copyright; Avail.: National Technical Information Service (NTIS)
At 70 miles per hour, overcoming aerodynamic drag represents about 65% of the total energy expenditure for a typical heavy truck vehicle. The goal of this US Department of Energy supported consortium is to establish a clear understanding of the drag producing flow phenomena. This is being accomplished through joint experiments and computations, leading to the smart design of drag reducing devices. This paper will describe our objective and approach, provide an overview of our efforts and accomplishments, and discuss our future direction. NTIS

July 2004 Working Group Meeting on Heavy Vehicle Aerodynamic Drag: Presentations, Summary of Comments and Conclusions
McCallen, R.; Salari, K.; Ortega, J.; Castellucci, P.; Eastwood, C.; Aug. 16, 2004; 94 pp.; In English Report No.(s): DE2005-15014757; UCRL-TR-206106; No Copyright; Avail.: National Technical Information Service (NTIS)
A Working Group Meeting on Heavy Vehicle Aerodynamic Drag was held in Portland, Oregon on July 1, 2004. The purpose of the meeting was to provide a summary of achievements, discuss pressing issues, present a general overview of future plans, and to provide a forum for dialogue with the Department of Energy (DOE) and industry representatives. The meeting was held in Portland, because the DOE Aero Team participated in an exclusive session on Heavy Truck Vehicle Aerodynamic Drag at the 34th AIAA Fluid Dynamics Conference and Exhibit in Portland on the morning of July 1st, just preceding our Working Group meeting. Even though the paper session was on the last day of the Conference, the Team presented to a full room of interested attendees. NTIS
