Modification in commercial bus model to overcome aerodynamic drag effect by using CFD analysis

In India coach buses are generally used for long journey from 400 km to 600 km. Volvo B11R bus is widely used by private as well as state government players for its comfortable ride and luxurious feel. No engine is 100% economical so few other parameters influence the fuel consumption and one of the...
