Ground effect vehicles exploit the increase in lift and reduction in drag experienced when flying close to a surface. By trapping a cushion of high-pressure air beneath their wings or lifting surfaces ...
Road vehicle aerodynamics centres on the interaction between a vehicle’s exterior and the surrounding airflow. Minimising aerodynamic drag has become critical for reducing fuel consumption, cutting ...
This story appears in the March 14 print edition of iTECH, a supplement to Transport Topics. Fleets have ramped up their investments in trailer aerodynamics systems in recent years to improve fuel ...
One of the main objectives of Germany’s climate protection policy is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. This has led to an increasing demand for aerodynamic studies on the part of automobile and rail ...
Vortex is a natural fluid phenomenon that is often of great consequence in almost any practical flow, such as shear layers, ...
