Abstract:A pickup's aerodynamics characteristic for reducing drag force and increasing negative lift is studied; this study is performed to reduce fuel consumption and increase stability. The external flow devices such as a diffuser and a spoiler on the model which can change the direction of the airflow around the pickup to the desired direction are utilized. A diffuser at the rear end of the pick-up is studied to examine the effect of change of its length and angle on the aerodynamics characteristic of the Pickup. A … Show more
