Comparative Computational Analysis of Drag-reducing Devices for Tractor-trailers
Constant rise in fuel price in recent times has caused manufacturers of heavy commercial vehicles (HCV) to turn to efficient aerodynamic design of trucks, wagons, tractors as well as trailers. The comparative analysis in this study compares the coefficient of drag of the following four aerodynamic configurations of a tractor-trailer combination: 1. Semi-trailer with no devices. 2. Semi-trailer ...
متن کاملNumerical Investigation of Adjoint Method in Aerodynamic Optimization
In this research, the continuous adjoint method is applied to optimize an airfoil in subsonic and transonic flows. An Euler flow solver is used to analyze the inviscid compressible flow over airfoils in each design cycle. Two design problems appearing in aerodynamic shape optimization, namely inverse pressure design and drag minimization were investigated. In the first part, a test case was car...

An efficient formulation for the robust shape optimization of aerodynamic objects is introduced in this paper. The formulation has three essential features. First, an Euler solver based on a second-order Godunov scheme is used for the flow calculations. Second, a genetic algorithm with binary number encoding is implemented for the optimization procedure. The third ingredient of the procedure is...
متن کاملStudy on Braking Panels in High Speed Trains Using CFD
With speed increasing in high-speed trains, due to limitations of other types of brakes, aerodynamic brake has become an important braking method. In this task to make better use of brake’s panel different configurations are examined and the best panel shape which provides the reasonable drag coefficient is introduced. The results of simulations are carried out with the computational fluid dyna...
متن کاملAn Aerodynamic Design Technique for Optimizing Fan Blade Spacing
Aerodynamic shape optimization involves designing the most efficient shapes of bodies that move through fluids. An optimization algorithm perturbs the shape of an airfoil until it finds the shape which best exhibits a given design objective. For an inverse design technique, this objective is a prescribed aerodynamic distribution, usually the surface pressure distribution. Liebeck pressure distr...
