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. 606 $aAutomobiles$xAerodynamics 606 $aTrucks$xAerodynamics 606 $aSCIENCE / Mechanics / Aerodynamics$2bisacsh 606 $aTECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Automotive$2bisacsh 606 $aPhysics: Fluid mechanics$2thema 606 $aAerodynamics$2thema 606 $aAutomotive technology and trades$2thema 615 0$aAutomobiles$xAerodynamics. 615 0$aTrucks$xAerodynamics. 615 7$aSCIENCE / Mechanics / Aerodynamics. 615 7$aTECHNOLOGY & ENGINEERING / Automotive. 615 7$aPhysics: Fluid mechanics. 615 7$aAerodynamics. 615 7$aAutomotive technology and trades. 676 $a629.231 700 $aObidi$b T.
