The measurement of aerodynamic forces in shock tunnels is a critical area in high-speed aerodynamics research. In these facilities, short-duration, high-enthalpy flows pose unique challenges that ...

High-speed train aerodynamics is a critical field that underpins both the safety and performance of modern rail transportation. As trains operate at increasing speeds, they encounter complex airflow ...

NASA has contracted Virginia's Advanced Air Company to design and build a prototype of a new type of transition-capable eVTOL drone – a tilt-wing concept that uses aerodynamic forces instead of ...

Christina Harvey, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, uses a combination of wind tunnel studies and modeling of inertial forces to understand how birds ...

Researchers have investigated the aerodynamic performance of a single floating PV setup of 16 panels, as well as an array that combined 15 such setups. They found that drag coefficient distributions ...

What Is Aerodynamics? Aerodynamics refers to how air behaves when an object passes through it, especially the way it results ...

When we think of braking systems in cars, there are probably a few setups that come to mind. Drum brakes and disc brakes are different, but they are the most commonly thought-of braking systems, using ...
