Freeway Wind Analysis
(OP)
This is a difficult subject since it is very specific has any one come a crossed any information on modeling or data on the wind analysis for the wind created by moving vehicles. Specifically need to look at what happens in the center median and the edges. Looking at all freeways and highways nation wide.
