Among the sciences and practices involved in building an automobile, aerodynamics is one of the most important. Creating a car that can efficiently cut through or manipulate the air around it is a ...

A few years ago, an Italian automotive journalist asked a designer from a major automaker a simple question during an informal conversation: why do manufacturers still insist on building tall, heavy ...

Some bikes can harness the wind to make you faster, but what exactly does that mean, and how does the sail effect work?

Axial compressors are critical components in aero-engines and industrial gas turbines, where blade vibration and aerodynamics are inextricably linked to performance and safety. Current research has ...

The aviation industry is under increasing pressure to meet ambitious sustainability goals, including achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Central to this challenge is the optimization of aircraft ...

Trailer aerodynamics devices can improve fuel efficiency by 1% to 10%. The gap between the trailer and tractor, the underbody, and the rear of the trailer are three areas ripe for drag reductions. A ...

Aerodynamics and fluid dynamics in compressible flows represent a critical area of research focused on understanding how variations in fluid density affect the behaviour of airflows around bodies, ...
