6. Wheel Modelling and Cooling Flow Effects on Car Aerodynamics
Abstract : In recent years, the automotive industry has focused on computer simulations as an alternative to physical testing. This allows for early vehicle optimization, short turn around times, and significant cost savings. READ MORE

7. Assessment of crosswind performance of buses
Abstract : When driving a vehicle on the road, the driver has to compensate continuously for small directional deviations from the desired course due to disturbances such as crosswinds, road irregularities and unintended driver inputs. These types of deviations have a tiring effect on the driver and should therefore be minimised. READ MORE

8. Flow field investigation of rotating wheels on passenger cars
Abstract : The importance of aerodynamics of road-going vehicles on the total driving resistance and hence fuel consumption is well known to vehicle manufactures. At present, upper body aerodynamics of passenger cars is relatively well understood. READ MORE

9. On Tyre Rotation Modelling and Cooling Flow Measurements
Abstract : With the technological computer advancements, vehicle development is relying more and more on simulations as an alternative to testing. A similar trend follows in aerodynamic development of vehicles where Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulations are increasing in complexity and accuracy. READ MORE

10. Applicable directivity description of railway noise sources
Abstract : For a sound source, directivity is an important parameter to specify. This parameter also reflects the physical feature of the sound generation mechanism. For example, turbulence sound is of quadrupole directivity whilst fluid-structure interaction often induces a sound of dipole characteristic. READ MORE
