Abstract | This report documents the procedure and results of a wind-tunnel-based SmartWay verification test program to evaluate the aerodynamic performance of the NRC Trailer Skirts. The testing was performed in the NRC 9 m Wind Tunnel using a 30%-scale model of a tractor-trailer combination. The NRC Trailer Skirts were measured to have a reduction in wind-averaged drag of 9.9% which is estimated to provide a fuel savings of 5.4±0.1%. |
