Numerical Investigation on Handling Stability of a Heavy Tractor Semi-Trailer under Crosswind

Due to the large lateral area of the trailer and variable road conditions, the handling stability of a heavy tractor semi-trailer under crosswind is very important for road safety. In this present work, numerical simulation is performed to study the crosswind effects on handling stability of a tract...
