An aerodynamic approach to improve visibility during high speed snow plowing

The snow particles entrained in the wake of the snowplow (i.e. snow cloud) and the subsequent snow accumulation on the warning lights appear as the most pronounced visibility problems behind the snowplow truck. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) methods are employed with detailed 2D and 3D models of the snowplow trucks (1) to evaluate the performance of the add-on devices (airfoils) available in the market which improve the rear visibility of truck by the public; (2) to gain more insight over the snow cloud pattern. Considering the low density of snow particles and high drag coefficient, they are assumed to follow air flow and their effect on the flow pattern is neglected. The effect of airfoil on the snow accumulation behind the truck is quantified by pressure and shear stress distribution. The airfoil selected based on the numerical studies is implemented on the back of the truck and tested in the field. The results confirmed the rear visibility performance increase by the airfoil over...

I want to get a snow plow for my CJ - JeepForum.com

by penjrav8r

I have a 200 yard long gravel driveway and I would like to get a plow for my CJ7 for the winter. I do not have a winch, but I have long been wanting to get one. Obviously I can't do both unless I have a winch-driven plow, or else switch equipment every season. Any recommendations on brand of winch and plow? I don't want to spend TOO much money, but I realize a good winch will cost me.
