| Abstract | Improving vehicle fuel consumption, performance and aerodynamic efficiency by drag reduction especially in heavy vehicles is one of the indispensable issues of automotive industry. In this work, the effects of adding append devices like deflector and cab vane corner on heavy commercial vehicle drag reduction were investigated. For this purpose, the vehicle body structure was modeled with various supplementary parts at the first stage. Then, computational fluid dynamic (CFD) analysis was utilized for each case to enhance the optimal aerodynamic structure at different longitudinal speeds for heavy commercial vehicles. The results show that the most effective supplementary part is deflector, and by adding this part, the drag coefficient is decreased considerably at an optimum angle. By adding two cab vane corners at both frontal edges of cab, a significant drag reduction is noticed. Back vanes and base flaps are simple plates which can be added at the top and side end of container and at the bottom with specific angle respectively to direct the flow and prevent the turbulence. Through the analysis of airflow and pressure distribution, the results reveal that the cab vane reduces fuel consumption and drag coefficient by up to 20 % receptively using proper deflector angle. Finally, by adding all supplementary parts at their optimized positions, 41% drag reduction is obtained compared to the simple model. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
