Investigation into the effect of the wake from a generic formula one car on a downstream vehicle (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Newbon, J., Sims-Williams, D., & Dominy, R. (2014, October). Investigation into the effect of the wake from a generic formula one car on a downstream vehicle. Presented at International Vehicle Aerodynamics Conference, Loughborough, UK

The aerodynamic performance of an open wheel race car is significantly affected when following another vehicle. This paper presents experimental and CFD results for a generic 25% scale Formula one car operating in the wake of another vehicle. Differe...

Interactions between Underbody Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics (2014)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kounenis, C., Sims-Williams, D., Dominy, R., Berson, A., & Oettle, N. (2014, October). Interactions between Underbody Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics. Presented at International Vehicle Aerodynamics Conference, Loughborough, UK

Research has shown that lack of ground effect simulation in the wind tunnel could result in different flow conditions from those experienced by the vehicle on the road, influencing aerodynamic noise inside the cabin. The focus of this work is the inf... Read More about Interactions between Underbody Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics.

Assessing the Aeroacoustic Response of a Vehicle to Transient Flow Conditions from the Perspective of a Vehicle Occupant (2014)
Journal Article
Oettle, N., Sims-Williams, D., & Dominy, R. (2014). Assessing the Aeroacoustic Response of a Vehicle to Transient Flow Conditions from the Perspective of a Vehicle Occupant. SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars - Mechanical Systems, 7(2), 550-558. https://doi.org/10.4271/2014-01-0591

On-road, a vehicle experiences unsteady flow conditions due to turbulence in the natural wind, moving through the unsteady wakes of other road vehicles and travelling through the stationary wakes generated by roadside obstacles. Separated flow struct... Read More about Assessing the Aeroacoustic Response of a Vehicle to Transient Flow Conditions from the Perspective of a Vehicle Occupant.

A Wind Tunnel Simulation Facility for On-Road Transients (2014)
Journal Article
