ABSTRACT

EXPERIMENTS
We present herein an overview of the current
experimental approach and results provided for the
integrated tractor-trailer benchmark geometry termed the
Ground Transportation System (GTS) [2]. Continuum
Dynamics, Inc. has also provided boattail plates made to
fit the GTS Model (Figure 1).
The purpose of these experiments is to collect data for
benchmarking and validation of the computational fluid
dynamics (CFD) models, and for further insight into truck
flow phenomena. The authors would like to emphasize
the importance of synergism between computationalists
and experimentalists for the construction of validation
experiments. We have attempted to follow the 6 major
points in the AIAA guide [3] which provides a philosophy
of code validation experiments:
