Heavy Vehicle Aerodynamics: Massively-Separated Turbulent Flow & a Bio-Inspired Device
Dr. MacChesney’s doctoral studies focused on improvement of the state of the art in heavy vehicle aerodynamics through computational fluid dynamics methods. Through his research he has devised a drag reduction device inspired by the shape of a harbor seal whisker that reduces drag by up to 22%. Addi...
