iAM Aerodynamics - CFD Data and Reports
Independently run and verified by TotalSim on the Bramble Platform.
Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) uses fluid mechanics to provide numerical data to help analyse problems that involve fluid flows (such as air flow over a truck and trailer set up).
It is very important to us here at Kuda to provide transparency when it comes to our fuel saving claims. As such we have been working with TotalSim, to provide independent analysis of our iAM Aerodynamic system on various truck and trailer combinations.

The purpose of these assessments was to obtain CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) data on the effects on the overall drag on the tractor unit and trailer combination both with and without a Kuda iAM Air Management kit fitted.
The model data was obtained using real world, 3D scanned parts and manufacturer supplied vehicle and trailer models.
This was compiled and set up, independently by TotalSim and the simulations were run on their Bramble platform. In
the interest of transparency for the results Kuda UK only supplied the physical parts to be scanned and advised on
how these would be positioned in the real world when fitted to the vehicle.
