CFD Investigation of the Effect of the Salient Flow Features in the Wake of a Generic Open-Wheel Race Car (2015)
Journal Article
Newbon, J., Dominy, R., & Sims-Williams, D. (2015). CFD Investigation of the Effect of the Salient Flow Features in the Wake of a Generic Open-Wheel Race Car. SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars - Mechanical Systems, 8(1), 217-232. https://doi.org/10.4271/2015-01-1539

It is well known that in motorsport the wake from an upstream vehicle can be detrimental to the handling characteristics of a following vehicle, in particular in formulae with high levels of downforce. Previous investigations have been performed to c... Read More about CFD Investigation of the Effect of the Salient Flow Features in the Wake of a Generic Open-Wheel Race Car.

The Effects of Unsteady Flow Conditions on Vehicle in Cabin and External Noise Generation (2015)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kounenis, C., Sims-Williams, D., Dominy, R., Berson, A., Oettle, N., & Freeman, C. (2015, April). The Effects of Unsteady Flow Conditions on Vehicle in Cabin and External Noise Generation. Presented at SAE 2015 World Congress & Exhibition, Detroit, Michigan

A vehicle driving on the road experiences unsteady flow conditions which are not generally reproduced in the development environment. This paper investigates the potential importance of this difference to aeroacoustics and hence to occupant perceptio...
