Project ObjectivesProject Objectives
· To measure the mean and unsteady surface
pressure distribution on a generic pickup
truck geometry.
· To measure the unsteady flow field in the
near wake of a generic pickup truck
geometry using PIV.
· To provide a better understanding of the
steady and unsteady forces on pickup trucks
