Early car aerodynamic development focused on physical observation rather than simulation. Wind tunnels were first developed for aviation during the 1870s and were used by pioneers such as the Wright ...

Engineers from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) have proposed reshaping heavy vehicles such as semi-trucks to be more aerodynamic. This new continuous design could significantly reduce ...

Aerodynamic design optimization has evolved into a mature discipline that integrates computational fluid dynamics, sensitivity analysis and optimisation algorithms to refine shapes and configurations ...

With additive manufacturing, used to build this heat exchanger, one key is to do prototyping for the part and then see whether additive or subtractive manufacturing is the better choice of manufacture ...

For much of the twentieth century, the automobile was shaped less by the wind than by the whims of stylists and the desires of buyers. Long before drag coefficients became a selling point, car bodies ...

Superteam Wheels, a world-renowned carbon fiber wheelset brand, officially launched its flagship Ultra SL SE all-scenario wheelset. Focusing on "all-scenario adaptation and balanced weight-stiffness", ...

In the early 1900s, cars were not designed with particular aesthetics in mind. They were primarily built to be practical and utilitarian. The introduction of the Ford Model T in 1908, the first ...

This figure shows the comparison of the spatial distributions of the time-averaged flow field before and after drooping the leading edge in the form of u-velocity sections. With the drooping leading ...

In many ways, the aerodynamic issues important to UAVs are similar to those for manned aircraft. However, certain classes of UAVs operate quite differently from manned aircraft and present different ...

Formula 1's sleek racing machines look so different to the cars we see every day on the road because their design is dictated by aerodynamics. This is the study of forces and their impact on how ...
