Abstract

This is the final part of a three-part paper that draws together previous work on ground vehicles in high cross winds, and sets up a consistent analytical framework for discussion of the various wind-induced problems, Part I considered steady aerodynamic forces and moments; Part II then considered unsteady aerodynamic effects. This paper uses the data and methods of the first two papers to look at the various wind-induced problems of ground vehicles in cross winds-vehicle suspension excitation, vehicle overturning and wind-induced course deviations-and considers the interaction of the aerodynamic forces and moments with the vehicle/driver system.
