An Investigation of Aerodynamic Effects of Body Morphing for Passenger Cars in Close-Proximity

The potential energy-saving benefit for vehicles when travelling in a ‘platoon’ formation results from the reduction in total aerodynamic drag which may result from the interaction of bluff bodies in close-proximity. Early investigations of platooning, prompted by problems of congestion, had shown t...
