The effect of the boundary layer present in wind tunnels on the aerodynamic drag of a model truck
Includes bibliographical references. === This thesis deals with a system that reduces the oncoming boundary layer displacement thickness in a wind tunnel. The device is then used to examine the effect that this boundary layer has on the aerodynamic drag of a standard truck, which is classified as a...
