Racing car aerodynamics: Aerodynamics of oscillating wings
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.....

Racing car aerodynamics: Aerodynamic interaction between a wing and wheels
What 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 depen....

Racing car aerodynamics: Wheel aerodynamics
Fourty 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....

Racing car aerodynamics: Large-scale source term modelling of vortex generation
For 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 con....

Aircraft airframe noise: Computational aeroaoustics of bogie noise
Airframe 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 ....

Aircraft airframe noise: Effect of bogie inclination on the unsteady flow field and noise production
Computational 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 influen....
