Abstract
This thesis deals with the airflow over a double trailer Gull Wing truck, with a view to reducing the drag of the truck. To investigate the flow over the truck, a 1:20 scale double trailer truck model was designed and constructed from chipboard for wind tunnel experiments. The overall size of the model is 1100 mm long, 130 mm wide and 215 mm high. A same scale numerical model was also built for computational simulations.
