The ground-effect diffuser has become a major aerodynamic device on open-wheel racing
and sports cars. Accordingly, it is widely considered to be indispensable to their …

IN GENERAL, three sorts of aerodynamic testing are performed to develop products in the
aeronautical or automobile engineering field: full-scale track testing orflight testing, wind …

We evaluate the aerodynamic performance of several passive vortex generators (VGs)
placed on a standard Ahmed body, with a slant angle (α= 35º), subjected to different yawing …

A study emphasizing the effects of passive vortex generators (VGs) on aerodynamic
characteristics of a NACA 4415 airfoil is presented. Both experimental and numerical works …

Vortex generators (VGs) have shown the potential to mitigate the train's operational
instability issues caused by strong wind. Numerical simulations are used to predict the flow …

Flow control has shown a potential in reducing the drag in vehicle aerodynamics. The
present numerical study deals with active flow control for a quasi-2D simplified vehicle …

In the automotive industry, the implementation of drag reduction systems has provided
considerable decreases in fuel consumption. These outcomes are in line with the increasing …

This work presents an analysis and validation of a foldable boom actuated by tape-spring
foldable elastic hinges for space applications. The analytical equations of tape-springs are …

Vane-type vortex generators (VGs) are often installed on the flaps of high-lift systems of
aircraft as retrofit devices for increasing the lift by suppressing flow separation. To reduce the …

Vortex generators can enhance the operational safety of high-speed trains and offer
effective anti-rolling performance. This paper investigates the influence of vortex generator …
