Abstract
The presentation includes the use of the computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) at Kenworth Truck Company in the last few years, how do we identify projects to build confidence in CFD simulation, follows by the discussion on the aerodynamic validation process such as wind tunnel testing, proving ground on-track testing and over-the-road real world testing. A brief look at the history of the concept and development process and how we integrate CFD in the current development design process, identify areas of CFD development to improve the simulation and testing results correlation in the future.
