van Tilborg, Frank (author), van Raemdonck, G.M.R. (author), Sciacchitano, A. (author), Casalino, D. (author)This article analyses the flow field between two 1/8-scale Generalized European Transport System (GETS) models which are placed in a two-vehicle platoon at close distances. Numerical simulations using the lattice Boltzmann method together with a wind tunnel experiment (open jet facility, OJF) were executed. Next to balance measurements,...journal article 2019
