Wings in pitching motion can reach very large incidences, often overshooting the static stall angle. In those cases, the unsteady motion can be beneficial to the aerodynamic performance of the wing.
View researchWhat is the influence of an upstream-mounted wing on the aerodynamic characteristics of a wheel and vice versa? How does the aerodynamic interaction between these components of the configuration depend on vertical, stre…
View researchForty percent of the total drag on a Formula 1 car comes from the wheels. Wheels have an influence on the aerodynamics of the car as a whole, the front and rear wings, the under-body and the diffuser. The wheels are a s…
View researchFor efficiency/affordability, the wind tunnel testing is expensive and comprehensive testing is impractical. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is useful while adapting grids are difficult and time consuming. In this ca…
View researchAirframe noise is one of the main noise sources during the approach phase. Flight tests have shown that for large aircraft the main landing gear (MLG) is a dominant airframe noise source . The design of landing gear is …
View researchComputational methods are used to determine the flow field around a simplified landing gear geometry and the far field noise levels generated by this flow. The focus of this research is on the influence of bogie inclina…
