Title

Improvement in fuel efficiency of bus using a roof fairing.

Abstract

Buses plays vital role in mass transportation around globe. As bus body is not designed aerodynamically, therefore, coefficient of drag is high. Bus fore body and back body are two important areas where you can make changes to reduce the coefficient of drag by changing the wind shield angle, rounding edges or by using the faring’s at the top of bus. The work aims to develop a low-cost add-on drag reduction roof fairing which can be used on existing buses. A unique shaped aerodynamic roof faring is designed to reduce drag. Because of its shape it avoids the flow separation at top of body. Star CCM+ is used as virtual analysis tool to estimate various aerodynamic parameters. Analysis was performed on standard Ahmad body and Ahmad body with roof faring; this resulted in the drag reduction by 9.71%. Ratio of the height, width and length of roof faring curve was calculated so that it can be used for any bus.

Key Words

Roof fairing, Aerodynamic, drag reduction, fuel economy, Bus.
