The Influence of a Rear Deflector of a Semitrailer on Aerodynamics of an Articulated Truck

Abstract

The paper discusses the process of computer modeling of the aerodynamic characteristics of the rear deflector of a semi-trailer. The basic types of aerodynamic testing of vehicles, as well as their advantages and disadvantages are separated. A comparative analysis efficiency of the rear spoiler of a semi-trailer is performed.
