Aerodynamic drag reduction remains a pivotal area in automotive design, balancing fuel efficiency with performance and safety. Advances in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, experimental ...

Recent advances in hypersonic flow dynamics have underscored the critical interplay between aerodynamic forces and thermal loads experienced by high-speed vehicles. Research in this field focuses on ...

Deformation control volumes are set for the front sensor, front-side sensor, roof sensor, and rear-side sensor, which significantly impact the aerodynamic drag coefficient. The sensor shapes can be ...

Riblets: Reducing Drag and Ice Called ‘riblets’, these microstructures, which mimic the texture of shark skin, are tiny, parallel grooves, often just tens of micrometers deep, that guide the flow of ...

For a better understanding of aerodynamic testing, we asked an expert to provide us with some basic, but valuable information on the subject. The author is directly involved in using his knowledge of ...

Researchers focus on enhancing the aerodynamic performance of autonomous vehicles by reducing drag induced by externally mounted sensors such as cameras and light detection and ranging instruments.
