Drag and lift are the forces which act on a body moving through a fluid, or on a stationary object in a flowing fluid. We call these aerodynamic forces (if the fluid is a gas) or hydrodynamic ...
As a result, aerodynamic drag issues have been preventing self-driving vehicles from keeping pace with regular vehicle acceleration. In Physics of Fluids, researchers from Wuhan University of ...
When comparing their optimized sensor design against an AV with a standard setup in simulations, the optimized version resulted in a 3.44% decrease in total aerodynamic drag. That seemingly small ...
The Ford Mustang Dark Horse was refined in a cutting-edge wind tunnel, optimising aerodynamics for both efficiency and track performance.
One is designed to go fast off road and the other is designed to be delicious, but can you guess which has the lower drag coefficient?
The U.S. Air Force tests 3D-printed Microvane drag-reduction technology on the C-17 Globemaster III, cutting fuel consumption ...
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.
