AbstractThe paper focuses on relations between word-formation and morphemic structure of a Slovak word based on the material from Slovník koreňových morfém slovenčiny [Slovak Dictionary of Root Morphemes] (Sokolová et al., 2012). Particularly, manifestations of morphemic variation determined by word-formation poly-motivation are analysed. Poly-motivation arises from the re-grouping of the relations within a word-formation nest, where the mediated motivation can be understood as an alternative direct motivation, e.g. aerodynamika [noun, ‘aerodynamics’] → (aerodynamický [adjective, ‘related to aerodynamics’]) → aerodynamicky [adverb]. The adverb aerodynamicky is derived from the adjective (aerodynamický → aerodynamick-y ‘in an aerodynamic manner’) as well as from the noun (aerodynamika → aerodynamic-ky ‘with regard to aerodynamics’). Thus, the structure of affixes can be extended as a result of infixation conditioned by poly-motivation, cf. aerodynamick-y (suffix -y) / aerodynamic-ky (suffix -y with an infix: -k:y). As far as poly-motivation is concerned, a particular affix can have several morphemic and word-formation manifestations, e.g. Slovak adverb suffix -y can be manifested as -y, -ky, -icky, -isticky, -sky, -euticky, -aticky, -eticky, -ecky, -nícky.

Abstract High-speed railway aerodynamics is the key basic science for solving the bottleneck problem of high-speed railway development. This paper systematically summarizes the aerodynamic research relating to China’s high-speed railway network. Seven key research advances are comprehensively discussed, including train aerodynamic drag-reduction technology, train aerodynamic noise-reduction technology, train ventilation technology, train crossing aerodynamics, train/tunnel aerodynamics, train/climate environment aerodynamics, and train/human body aerodynamics. Seven types of railway aerodynamic test platform built by Central South University are introduced. Five major systems for a high-speed railway network—the aerodynamics theoretical system, the aerodynamic shape (train, tunnel, and so on) design system, the aerodynamics evaluation system, the 3D protection system for operational safety of the high-speed railway network, and the high-speed railway aerodynamic test/computation/analysis platform system—are also introduced. Finally, eight future development directions for the field of railway aerodynamics are proposed. For over 30 years, railway aerodynamics has been an important supporting element in the development of China’s high-speed railway network, which has also promoted the development of high-speed railway aerodynamics throughout the world.

Abstract The operational requirements of modern combat aircraft demand complex engine intake and exhaust systems, capable of working efficiently over a very wide range of flight conditions and throttle settings. In addition to high aerodynamic efficiency and avoidance of high distortion levels at the engine face, these systems must also meet rigorous radar and infra-red signature targets. This paper discusses the implications from the aerodynamics point of view. Examples of technical approaches which seek to balance the sometimes conflicting requirements of aerodynamics and signatures are outlined. The potential offered by in-flight thrust vectoring to enhance flight performance and/or safety is also reviewed and the aerodynamic implications considered. Overall, propulsion integration for combat aircraft presents several challenges to the aerodynamicist, not least the development and validation of improved theoretical design methods capable of analysing the highly complex flows involved.

Surface patterns on objects are important in aerodynamics. We show how surface patterns on volleyballs modify their aerodynamic performances. Conventional volleyballs with six panels show different aerodynamic characteristics along transverse and diagonal directions.

Abstract The article deals with the issue of double skin transparent facades as a new technological-operational system of transparent exterior walls. Especially of high-rise buildings, which with its operating modes ingeniously uses a renewable source of solar energy to reduce the energy needs of the building. The basic precondition for the correct function of the double skin facade is its functional aerodynamics in any climatic conditions of the outdoor climate. In the critical state of windlessness, the aerodynamic quantification of a double skin facade is the total aerodynamic resistance of the cavity, which consists of the aerodynamic frictional resistances along the length of the air flow line and local aerodynamic resistances of the cavity. The article analyses the functional aerodynamics on two frequented types of double skin facades with a narrow type and corridor type cavity. At the end it confronts functional aerodynamics with the results of their temperature, aerodynamic and energy regime obtained from in-situ experiments.

Purpose Boundary layer ingestion (BLI) is one of the probable noteworthy features of distributed propulsion configuration (DPC). Because of BLI, strong coupling effects are generated between the aerodynamics and propulsion system of aircraft, leading to the specific lift and drag aerodynamic characteristics. This paper aims to propose a model-based comprehensive analysis method to investigate this unique aerodynamic. Design/methodology/approach To investigate this unique aerodynamics, a model-based comprehensive analysis method is proposed.

Abstract This paper details two static aeroelastic analysis methods applied to a passenger aircraft model with high aspect ratio wing. The influence of nonlinear aerodynamic force on static aeroelastic derivatives in the transonic regime is analysed. The traditional aerodynamic influence coefficient (AIC) matrix method can produce fast and reliable aerodynamic force and is widely used in aeroelastic analysis. However, the AIC matrix computed by linear aerodynamics will lead to some errors in transonic regime because of the nonlinear effect of aerodynamics. By generating the correction matrices, the AIC matrix is modified, and the accuracy of transonic static aeroelastic correction of aerodynamic data can be improved. The static derivatives are compared to the results of the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) / computational structural (CSD) interaction method.

The severe additional aerodynamic loads that are generated on a small car when overtaking a coach have an adverse effect on the car handling stability and its safety. In this article, a two-way coupling of the unsteady aerodynamics and multi-body dynamics is performed in order to study the mutual interactions of a car in an overtaking maneuver with a coach. The unsteady aerodynamic interactions are obtained by using SST (Menter) K-Omega Detached Eddy Simulation and overset mesh technology. The aerodynamics couple the multi-body dynamics, taking into account the effects of the transverse spacing and the cross winds. To validate the necessity of the two-way coupling method, a one-way coupling of the aerodynamics to the vehicle motion is also conducted. Finally, by comparing the aerodynamic loads and the dynamic response of the overtaking car in different overtaking maneuvers between one- and two-way coupling, the results show that it should be considered with two-way coupling analyses of the car while overtaking a coach, particularly under the severe conditions of a lower transverse spacing or the crosswinds.

Aerodynamic modelling currently relates to development of mathematical models to describe the aerodynamic forces and moments acting on the aircraft. It is a challenging part of aerodynamics that defines a comprehensive approach to using traditional methods and modern techniques to obtain relevant data. The most complicated task for the aerodynamics and flight dynamics is definition, computation and quantification of the aerodynamic description of an object. This paper presents how to determine the aerodynamic load on a gyrocopter and defines the effect on its stability and control. The first step to solution is to develop simpler approximate aerodynamic model - a model that can be used in analysis of aerodynamic load and can represent the aerodynamic properties of the gyrocopter with an acceptable degree of accuracy. Control and stability are very important parts of aircraft characteristics and therefore those characteristics were analyzed in simulation. Finally, the aerodynamic data outputs are assessed in terms of impact of aerodynamic loads on stability and control of the gyrocopter model.

Abstract: Over the evolution of automobiles, performance, mileage, and grip have dramatically improved. Nevertheless, there have been some improvements, but now the ideal design has been reached for design of engine, airflow & tires, & ergonomics. This means that even very small design improvements could result in high performance enhancements. As fuel is becoming more expensive, the need for improved aerodynamics is becoming more acute. Thus, the purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of golf-like dimples on the aerodynamic properties of a spoiler. As such, numerical calculations and computational fluid dynamics calculations were performed to investigate the impact on aerodynamics and turbulence spoilers with various surface roughness and angle of attack. Based on the recorded data, this test will provide the best information on the appropriate size for the dimple. The data collected on the test model will be used to calculate the drag coefficient, the downforce, and the wake produced at 56 m/s speed, at four different attack angles. Different sizes & depths of dimples will be used to improve the aerodynamics of spoilers, which will improve their downforce, drag force and wake formation.

Abstract To identify the law of aerodynamic interactions of contra-rotating propellers (CRPs) and improve their aerodynamics, this study investigates the aerodynamic interactions of 4 CRPs (six blades in front and six in back) with different stage spacings using the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations-based method. The results showed that the CRP whose stage spacing was 0.25 times the propeller diameter delivered the highest average efficiency and that the aerodynamic interactions between the front and rear propellers decreased as the spacing widened, and compared with the rear propeller, the front one was more sensitive to stage spacing due to the aerodynamic interaction-generated thrust fluctuations. It can be seen that stage spacing exerts a significant effect on CRP aerodynamic interactions. Therefore, choosing an appropriate stage spacing in CRP design is of great significance to enhance its aerodynamics.

Wind tunnel test and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation are two main methods for the study of automotive aerodynamics. CFD simulation software solves the results in calculation by using the basic theory of aerodynamic. Calculation will inevitably lead to bias, and the wind tunnel test can effectively simulate the real driving condition, which is the most effective aerodynamics research method. This paper researches the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing of a racing car. Aerodynamic model of a racing car is established. Wind tunnel test is carried out and compared with the simulation results of computational fluid dynamics. The deviation of the two methods is small, and the accuracy of computational fluid dynamics simulation is verified. By means of CFD software simulation, the coefficients of six aerodynamic forces are fitted and the aerodynamic equations are obtained. Finally, the aerodynamic forces and torques of the racing car travel in bend are calculated.

Full textAbstract:
Current technology in evaluating the aeroelastic behavior of aerospace structures is based on the staggered coupling between structural and low fidelity linearized aerodynamic solvers, which has inherent limitations, although tried and trusted outside the transonic region. These limitations arise from the assumptions in the formulation of linearized aerodynamics and the lower fidelity in the description of the flowfield surrounding the structure. The validity of low fidelity aerodynamics also degrades fast with the deviation from a typical aerodynamic shape due to the inclusion of various control devices, gaps, or discontinuities. As innovative wings tend to become more flexible and also include a variety of morphing devices, it is expected that using low fidelity linearized aerodynamics in aeroelastic analysis will tend to induce higher levels of uncertainty in the results. An obvious solution to these issues is to use high fidelity aerodynamics. However, using high fidelity aerodynamics incurs a very high computational cost. Various formulations of reduced order models have shown promising results in reducing the computational cost. In the present work, the static aeroelastic behavior of three characteristic aeroelastic problems is obtained using both a full three-dimensional staggered coupled scheme and a time domain Volterra series based reduced order model (ROM). The reduced order model’s ability to remain valid for a wide range of dynamic pressures around a specific Mach number (and Reynolds number regime if viscous flow is considered) and the capability to modify structural parameters such as damping ratios and natural frequencies are highlighted.

The effect of a soccer ball’s surface texture on its aerodynamics and flight trajectory is not definitively known. For this study, five soccer balls were used, each having 32 panels with different surface textures. Their aerodynamics were examined via wind-tunnel experiments and then several non-spin trajectories were calculated for each ball. The results showed that the aerodynamic forces acting on a soccer ball change significantly depending on the surface texture of the ball, which in turn influences flight trajectories. The study contributes to an understanding of how a soccer ball’s surface influences the aerodynamics, which may impact the future design and development of soccer balls.

Unsteady aerodynamics modeling must accurately describe nonlinear aerodynamic characteristics in addition to unsteady aerodynamic characteristics. The Volterra series has attracted increasing attention as a powerful tool for nonlinear system modeling. It is essential to incorporate the influence of the second-order Volterra kernel or higher-order kernels to build a nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics model. The main difficulty in the identification of higher-order kernels is that the number of parameters to be identified increases exponentially with the order of a kernel. This paper expands the Volterra kernels with the four-order B-spline wavelet on the interval as the basis function, converts the problem into the solution of low-dimensional equations, and obtains a stable solution. A nonlinear unsteady aerodynamics model is built by identifying the second-order and third-order kernels of the lift, drag, and pitching moment coefficients of the NACA0012 airfoil. Then the model is verified at different reduced frequencies using CFD.

It is established that, currently, the study about wind impact is especially important for high-rise buildings, structures, and structural steel nonresistant to dynamic loads (long span bridge conduits, gins polarized, thin-shell tubes, etc.), as well as for residential estates with restrained urban conditions.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to investigate the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics in the deflection process of a morphing wing with flexible trailing edge, which is based on time-accurate solutions. The dynamic effect of deflection process on the aerodynamics of morphing wing was studied. Design/methodology/approach The computational fluid dynamic method and dynamic mesh combined with user-defined functions were used to simulate the continuous morphing of the flexible trailing edge. The steady aerodynamic characteristics of the morphing deflection and the conventional deflection were studied first. Then, the unsteady aerodynamic characteristics of the morphing wing were investigated as the trailing edge deflects at different rates. Findings The numerical results show that the transient lift coefficient in the deflection process is higher than that of the static case one in large angle of attack. The larger the deflection frequency is, the higher the transient lift coefficient will become. However, the situations are contrary in a small angle of attack. The periodic morphing of the trailing edge with small amplitude and high frequency can increase the lift coefficient after the stall angle. Practical implications The investigation can afford accurate aerodynamic information for the design of aircraft with the morphing wing technology, which has significant advantages in aerodynamic efficiency and control performance. Originality/value The dynamic effects of the deflection process of the morphing trailing edge on aerodynamics were studied. Furthermore, time-accurate solutions can fully explore the unsteady aerodynamics and pressure distribution of the morphing wing.

Under the action of strong crosswind, the aerodynamic behavior of a rail vehicle at high speed will be changed significantly, which could directly affect the safe operation of the vehicle. With the help of the shape of train used in China, the aerodynamic characteristics of trains with scale of 1:1 is investigated using computational fluid dynamics numerical simulation method, which consists of the variation of aerodynamics force and moment with wind yaw angle, wind speed, train speed, and nose shape. After an initial validation against Baker’s results from wind tunnel test, the numerical model is then used to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of the trains. The numerical results indicate that lift coefficient of the M train is slightly higher than TMC1 and TMC2 trains. Regardless of aerodynamics force coefficients, TMC1 reaches the maximum at a yaw angle of 75°. Aerodynamics force coefficient increases with both wind speed and train speed, but the change of which is not linear. Comparing aerodynamic force with different geometric dimensions of train nose, it is shown that height–width ratio is insensitive to side force and rolling moment, but sensitive to lift force from the yaw angle 0°–90°. The side force coefficient, as we most concern, is less than other results, when the length–width ratio is 1 and height–width is 0.87.

The present research concerns the helicopter aerodynamics and the blade-vortex interaction phenomenon. The computational studies are carried out using the large-eddy simulation approach for subsonic incompressible flow of Reynolds number Re=1.3x106. The helicopter aerodynamics is dominated by the blade-vortex interaction (BVI) phenomenon which is responsible for noise and vibrations. During the helicopter flight, a tip-vortex filament is formed and its interaction with the advancing blade causes the blade-vortex interaction phenomenon. The study shows that the blade-vortex interaction causes oscillations of the aerodynamic coefficients. Due to the turbulence phenomenon, the oscillations exhibit a non-linear behaviour.

The high complexity of current Formula One aerodynamics has raised the question of whether an urgent modification in the existing aerodynamic package is required. The present study is based on the evaluation and quantification of the aerodynamic performance on a 2017 spec. adapted Formula 1 car (the latest major aerodynamic update) by means of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in order to argue whether the 2022 changes in the regulations are justified in terms of aerodynamic necessities. Both free stream and flow disturbance (wake effects) conditions are evaluated in order to study and quantify the effects that the wake may cause on the latter case. The problem is solved by performing different CFD simulations using the OpenFoam solver. The significance and originality of the research may dictate the guidelines towards an overall improvement of the category and it may set a precedent on how to model racing car aerodynamics. The studied behaviour suggests that modern F1 cars are designed and well optimised to run under free stream flows, but they experience drastic aerodynamic losses (ranging from −23% to 62% in downforce coefficients) when running under wake flows. Although the overall aerodynamic loads are reduced, there is a fuel efficiency improvement as the power that is required to overcome the drag is smaller. The modern performance of Ground Effect by means of vortices management represent a very unique and complex way of modelling modern aerodynamics, but at the same time notably compromises the performance of the cars when an overtaking maneuver is intended.

Aerodynamics is a branch of science that discusses the movement of an object in the air. Aerodynamics comes from the words aero = air and dynamics = force of motion. The study of air forces is a branch of fluid mechanics. This study is a continuation of the study of hydrodynamics, where the science of the motion of air has a close relationship with other sciences.

Abstract The problem of simulation models capable of predicting the aerodynamic instability of helicopter slung-load cargo containers and bluff bodies is addressed. Instability for these loads is known to depend on unsteady frequency-dependent aerodynamics, but simulation models that include the unsteady aerodynamics do not currently exist. This paper presents a method for generating such models using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to generate forced-oscillation aerodynamic data and frequency domain system identification techniques to generate a frequency response from the CFD data and to identify a transfer function fit to the frequency response. The method is independent of the responsible flow phenomenon and is expected to apply to bluff-bodies generally. Preliminary results are presented for the case of the 6- by 6- by 8-ft CONEX (container express) cargo container. The present work is based on two-dimensional (2D) aerodynamic data for the CONEX side force and yaw moment generated by a forced oscillation in which frequency is varied smoothly over the range of interest. A first-order rational polynomial transfer function is found adequate to fit the aerodynamics, and this is shown to provide a good match with flight test data for the yawing motion of the CONEX.

Unilateral vocal fold paralysis (UVFP) causes glottal incompetence and poor vocal efficiency. The influence of laryngeal neuromuscular control on aerodynamics in UVFP remains unclear. This study investigated the relationship between laryngeal muscle activities using quantitative laryngeal electromyography (LEMG) and aerodynamics in UVFP. This prospective study recruited patients with UVFP, and the diagnosis was confirmed with videolaryngostroboscopy and LEMG. The patient received aerodynamic assessment and LEMG of the thyroarytenoid-lateral cricoarytenoid (TA-LCA) muscle complex and the cricothyroid (CT) muscle. The relationship between quantitative LEMG and aerodynamic parameters was analyzed. A total of 134 UVFP patients without concurrent CT muscle involvement were enrolled. Compared with the normal side, the peak turn frequency of the lesioned side was lower in the TA-LCA (p < 0.001) and CT (p = 0.048) muscles. Stepwise linear regression revealed that the turn ratio of TA-LCA muscles was a robust factor in the decrease in peak expiratory airflow (β = −0.34, p = 0.036), mean airflow during voicing (β = −0.28, p = 0.014), and aerodynamic power (β = −0.42, p = 0.019), and an increase in aerodynamic efficiency (β = 27.91, p = 0.012). In addition, the turn ratio of CT muscles was a potent factor in inducing an increase in aerodynamic resistance (β = 14.93, p = 0.029). UVFP without CT involvement still showed suppression of CT muscles on the lesioned side, suggesting that neurological impairment of the TA-LCA complex could cause asymmetrical compensation of CT muscles, further impeding aerodynamics. The residual function of TA-LCA muscle complexes facilitates less air leakage and power dissipation, enhancing aerodynamic efficiency. On the other hand, the symmetrical compensation of the CT muscles improves aerodynamic resistance.

Aerodynamical design is one of the critical technologies in race car engineering, and favorable race car aerodynamics is supposed to provide sufficient negative lift force and keep the center of pressure in the vicinity of center of mass. Taking the Formula Society of Automotive Engineers (FSAE) cars as an example, side wing structure is frequently adopted for better grip in the mid-back of short wheelbase, open wheel race cars. This research designs a shutter-like fairing structure and utilizes it to weaken the vorticity and reinforce the pressure of side wing flow field. The sensitivity of side wing aerodynamic efficiency to shutters’ key parameters is analyzed, and optimized shutters’ key parameters for a prototype FSAE race car are obtained through computational fluid dynamics simulations. Results indicate that over 10% enhancement in side wing aerodynamic efficiency can be achieved by applying optimized shutters.

Wind resistance is usually expressed by the following formula. Fx＝ CdAρv^2 /2. Where Cd is a constant. And A is the contact area between air and car. ρ is air density. v is the velocity. Because of the complex structure, mostly a very specific and accurate model cannot be obtained directly. Instead, engineers will use wind tunnel test to get a practical drag coefficient of a car. In the actual analysis, the influence of wind resistance cannot be ignored in the car dynamic system. Wind resistance is the main factor to counteract traction in the process of high-speed driving. Knowledge and literature about aerodynamics of vehicle is abundant in the world. However, this knowledge is not directly related to car design. Engineers empirically design vehicles in the perspective of aerodynamics based on what they have learnt. This paper will put forward some suggestions on vehicle structure according to the practical application of various aerodynamics. It will simultaneously emphasize how the knowledge in the literature is related to the car design in reality. Engineers can design vehicles combining with aerodynamic theory. In recent years, wedge-shaped vehicles have become the mainstream of design, which is the result of the pursuit of low wind resistance and higher stability. The streamlined body shape conforms to both aerodynamics and mainstream aesthetics. Improving speed and safety while saving energy is the most intuitive manifestation of aerodynamic application in vehicle field.

An important aspect for structural and aerodynamics design of radial flow turbomachinery is the definition of the geometry and the generation of meshes for computational analysis. Particularly in the area of computational design and optimization, the way the geometry is defined is important, as it can limit design space. Traditionally, radial compressors and radial turbine rotors are defined using a mechanical design approach. Effectively a hub and shroud profile, followed by a rotorblade geometry are defined and the shape is adjusted in order to meet certain aerodynamic boundary conditions. The current paper presents an alternative approach, in which the overall geometry is defined starting from an aerodynamic requirement. The corresponding rotor and blade geometry is generated automatically, based on certain constraints. The advantage of this approach is the ability to define directly the aerodynamic requirements, which may allow a simpler efficient optimization of the aerodynamics.

The aerodynamic performance of floating platform wind turbines is much more complex than fixed-base wind turbines because of the flexibility of the floating platform. Due to the extra six degrees-of-freedom of the floating platform, the inflow of the wind turbine rotors is highly influenced by the motions of the floating platform. It is therefore of interest to study the unsteady aerodynamics of the wind turbine rotors involved with the interaction of the floating platform induced motions. In the present work, a lifting surface method with a free wake model is developed for analysis of the unsteady aerodynamics of wind turbines. The aerodynamic performance of the NREL 5 MW floating wind turbine under the prescribed floating platform pitch motion is studied. The unsteady aerodynamic loads, the transient of wind turbine states, and the instability of the wind turbine wakes are discussed in detail.

Nowadays, aerodynamics is a key focal point in the vehicle design process. Beyond its direct impact on the performance of a vehicle, it also has significant effects on economics and safety. In the last decade numerical methods, mainly Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), have established themselves as a reliable tool that assists in the design process and complements classical tunnel tests. However, questions remain about the possible obtained accuracy, best practices and applied turbulence models. In this paper, we present a comprehensive study of motorcycle aerodynamics using CFD methods which, compared to the most common car aerodynamics analysis, has many specific features. The motorcycle, along with its rider, constitutes a shape with very complex aerodynamic properties. A detailed insight into the flow features is presented with detailed commentary. The front fairing, the front wheel and its suspension were identified as the main contributors to the aerodynamic drag of the motorcycle and its rider. The influence of rider position was also studied and identified as one of the most important elements when considering motorcycle aerodynamics. An extensive turbulence models study was performed to evaluate the accuracy of the most common Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes models and novel hybrid models, such as the Scale Adaptive Simulation and the Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation. Similar values of drag coefficients were obtained for different turbulence models with noticeable differences found for k−ϵ models. It was also observed that near-wall treatment affects the flow behaviour near the wheels and windshield but has no impact on the global aerodynamic parameters. In the summary, a discussion about the obtained results was set forth and a number of questions related to specifics of motorcycle CFD simulations were addressed.

The article analyzes the time variation of the values of the coefficient Cx and the aerodynamic factor for passenger vehicles of leading companies. Calculated equations of aerodynamic indexes are presented, both for the whole array of automobiles and for breaking them into classes according to the European classification. The analysis uses aerodynamic indicators of the main types of bodies of vehicles obtained both during road tests and in experiments in wind tunnels with full-scale objects. Examples are given of the discrepancy between aerodynamic indicators and the results of the correlation studies of automobiles produced under different conditions, in different wind tunnels and its comparison with road tests. The reasons for these discrepancies are indicated. Examples are given of the change in aerodynamic indicators from the time of the release of generations of some brands of automobiles. The best and worst vehicles in aerodynamics for all six classes of European classification are indicated. The novelty is the determination of the regularity of the change in aerodynamic parameters, in particular of the aerodynamic factor, for the whole period of development of motorization, which requires the use of a large data set. The results of the analysis are also given. The result of the analysis is the conclusion that the amount of the aerodynamic factor of passenger vehicles is decreasing for the whole time of automobilization with a change in the external form of the body.

A simply supported plate fluttering in hypersonic flow is investigated considering both the airflow and structural nonlinearities. Third-order piston theory is used for nonlinear aerodynamic loading, and von Karman plate theory is used for modeling the nonlinear strain-displacement relation. The Galerkin method is applied to project the partial differential governing equations (PDEs) into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs) in time, which is then solved by numerical integration method. In observation of limit cycle oscillations (LCO) and evolution of dynamic behaviors, nonlinear aerodynamic loading produces a smaller positive deflection peak and more complex bifurcation diagrams compared with linear aerodynamics. Moreover, a LCO obtained with the linear aerodynamics is mostly a nonsimple harmonic motion but when the aerodynamic nonlinearity is considered more complex motions are obtained, which is important in the evaluation of fatigue life. The parameters of Mach number, dynamic pressure, and in-plane thermal stresses all affect the aerodynamic nonlinearity. For a specific Mach number, there is a critical dynamic pressure beyond which the aerodynamic nonlinearity has to be considered. For a higher temperature, a lower critical dynamic pressure is required. Each nonlinear aerodynamic term in the full third-order piston theory is evaluated, based on which the nonlinear aerodynamic formulation has been simplified.

In the design of flapping-wing micro-size air vehicles capable of hovering, wings serve as the primary source of hovering power, making the analysis of aerodynamics and aerodynamic efficiency crucial. Traditional quasi-steady models treat the wings as single rigid plane, neglecting the deformable characteristics of flexible wings. This paper proposes a multi-plane method that, in conjunction with various design parameters of flexible wings in a two-dimensional plane, analyzes their deformation characteristics under the assumption of multiple planes in three-dimensional space, and describes the deformation of wings during flapping. By combining the quasi-steady aerodynamic model, aerodynamic analysis of the deformed wings can be conducted. The relationship between the slack angle, wing flapping position, and wing deformation are analyzed, along with their effects on aerodynamics and aerodynamic efficiency. Experiments validate the deformation patterns of wings during flapping and compare the simulated aerodynamic forces with measured ones. The results indicate that wing deformation can be accurately described by adjusting the parameters in the multi-plane method and that the aerodynamic analysis using this method closely approximates the average lift results. Additionally, the multi-plane method establishes a connection between wing morphology and aerodynamic forces and efficiency, providing valuable insights for aerodynamic analysis.

The ultimate target for vehicle aerodynamicists is to develop vehicles that perform well on the road in real-world conditions. On the other hand, vehicle development today is performed mostly in controlled settings, using wind tunnels and computational fluid dynamics with artificially uniform freestream conditions and neglecting real-world effects due to road turbulence from the wind and other vehicles. Turbulence on the road creates a non-uniform and fluctuating flow field in which the length scales of the fluctuations fully encompass the length scales of the relevant aerodynamic flow structures around the vehicle. These fluctuations can be comparable in size and strength with the vehicle’s own wake oscillations. As a result, this flow environment can have a significant impact on the aerodynamic forces and on the sensitivity of these forces to various shape changes. Some aerodynamic devices and integral design features can perform quite differently from the way in which they do under uniform freestream conditions. In this paper, unsteady aerodynamics simulations are performed using the lattice Boltzmann method on a detailed representative automobile model with several design variants, in order to explore the effect of on-road turbulence on the aerodynamics and the various mechanisms that contribute to these effects.

With the rapid development of FSAE, the speed of racing cars has increased year by year. As the main research content of racing cars, aerodynamics has received extensive attention from foreign teams. For racing cars, the aerodynamic force on the aerodynamic device ultimately acts on the tires through the transmission of the body and the suspension. When the wheel is subjected to the vertical load generated by the aerodynamic device, the ultimate adhesion capacity of the wheel is improved. Under changing conditions, racing wheels can withstand greater lateral and tangential forces. Therefore, the effects of aerodynamics have a more significant impact on handling stability. The FSAE racing car of Jilin University was taken as the research object, and this paper combines the wind tunnel test, the numerical simulation and the dynamics simulation of the racing system. The closed-loop design process of the aerodynamics of the FSAE racing car was established, and the joint study of aerodynamic characteristics and handling stability of racing car under different body attitudes was realized. Meanwhile, the FSAE car was made the modification of aerodynamic parameter on the basis of handling stability. The results show that, after the modification of the aerodynamic parameters, the critical speed of the car when cornering is increased, the maneuverability of the car is improved, the horoscope test time is reduced by 0.525 s, the downforce of the car is increased by 11.39%, the drag is reduced by 2.85% and the lift-to-drag ratio is increased by 14.70%. Moreover, the pitching moment is reduced by 82.34%, and the aerodynamic characteristics and aerodynamic efficiency of the racing car are obviously improved. On the basis of not changing the shape of the body and the aerodynamic kit, the car is put forward to shorten the running time of the car and improve the comprehensive performance of the car, so as to improve the performance of the car in the race.
