Those needing specific information or a refresher can easily jump to the material of interest. There is a particular emphasis on various vehicle types (passenger cars, trucks, trains, motorcycles, race cars, etc.). However, the book is focused on cars and trucks, which are the most common vehicles in the speed range in which the study of ground vehicle aerodynamics is beneficial. Readers will gain a fundamental understanding of the topic, which will help them design vehicles that have improved aerodynamics; this will lead to better fuel efficiency, improved performance, and increased passenger comfort.AutomobilesAerodynamicsTrucksAerodynamicsSCIENCE / Mechanics / AerodynamicsbisacshTECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / AutomotivebisacshPhysics: Fluid mechanicsthemaAerodynamicsthemaAutomotive technology and tradesthemaAutomobilesAerodynamics.TrucksAerodynamics.SCIENCE / Mechanics / Aerodynamics.TECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Automotive.Physics: Fluid mechanics.Aerodynamics.Automotive technology and trades.629.231Obidi T.
