Tonneau Cover

The picture below shows the flow with a tonneau cover over the bed cavity. The flow separates behind the cab and tailgate, but is prevented from entering the bed cavity. The flow along the side enters the region but does not enter the bed cavity due to the cover.

The drag coefficient with the tonneau cover is 0.381 which is an 11.81% decrease from the baseline condition.

At Western New England College, the study of engineering is about solving real-world problems.
