Biomimetic aerodynamics leverages nature‐inspired design principles to enhance the performance of airfoils, turbine blades and other lifting surfaces. Drawing inspiration from the tubercles on the ...
This figure shows the comparison of the spatial distributions of the time-averaged flow field before and after drooping the leading edge in the form of u-velocity sections. With the drooping leading ...
Carbon spokes without the harsh feel, DT Swiss internals, and real crosswind stability. After six months riding the Rapide ...
Erosion is all around us, from the meandering course of rivers and other waterways, to the gradual carving out of channels in even the toughest mountains, and the softening of features in statues. Yet ...
As the angle of attack is increased on a high-performance airfoil, a small amount of separation occurs near the leading edge. This separation causes the boundary layer to transition from laminar to ...
SAE Transactions, Vol. 115, Section 6: JOURNAL OF PASSENGER CAR: MECHANICAL SYSTEMS JOURNAL (2006), pp. 994-1003 (10 pages) It has been recognised that the ideal flow conditions that exist in the ...
Aerodynamic objects are low to the ground, not very tall, and have a leading edge that contacts the air in a thin and narrow manner to produce the smoothest, most streamlined journey. Aerodynamic, ...
In Part 2, we discussed Learjet’s research into improving the stall characteristics of its aircraft. Bombardier’s Clinton E. Tanner, senior technical advisor of flight sciences, points out that ...
