The Bandwidth of Transient Yaw Effects on Vehicle Aerodynamics (2011)
Journal Article
Mankowski, O., Sims-Williams, D., Dominy, R., Duncan, B., & Gargoloff, J. (2011). The Bandwidth of Transient Yaw Effects on Vehicle Aerodynamics. SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars - Mechanical Systems, 4(1), 131-142. https://doi.org/10.4271/2011-01-0160

A vehicle on the road encounters an unsteady flow due to turbulence in the natural wind, the unsteady wakes from other vehicles and as a result of traversing through the stationary wakes of road side obstacles. There is increasing concern about poten... Read More about The Bandwidth of Transient Yaw Effects on Vehicle Aerodynamics.

Aerodynamic Investigation on the Effect of Varying Through-Hub Flow on a Formula One Front Wheel Assembly (2011)
Journal Article
Sprot, A., Minto, J., Sims-Williams, D., & Dominy, R. (2011). Aerodynamic Investigation on the Effect of Varying Through-Hub Flow on a Formula One Front Wheel Assembly. SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars - Mechanical Systems, 4(1), 929-944. https://doi.org/10.4271/2011-01-1431

For open wheel race cars the front wheel flow and the interaction of its wake with downstream components is of significant importance. Considerable effort goes into the design of front wing end plates, barge boards and underfloor components in order...

The Effects of Unsteady On-Road Flow Conditions on Cabin Noise: Spectral and Geometric Dependence (2011)
Journal Article
Oettle, N., Sims-Williams, D., Dominy, R., Darlington, C., & Freeman, C. (2011). The Effects of Unsteady On-Road Flow Conditions on Cabin Noise: Spectral and Geometric Dependence. SAE International Journal of Passenger Cars - Mechanical Systems, 4(1), 120-130. https://doi.org/10.4271/2011-01-0159

The in-cabin sound pressure level response of a vehicle in yawed wind conditions can differ significantly between the smooth flow conditions of the aeroacoustic wind tunnel and the higher turbulence, transient flow conditions experienced on the road....

Time resolved measurements in the Durham Cascade (2011)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Forster, F., Sims-Williams, D., Ingram, G., & Dominy, R. (2011). Time resolved measurements in the Durham Cascade. . https://doi.org/10.1115/gt2011-45838

This paper describes investigations into unsteady flow phenomena in a high turning linear cascade with a nominal steady flow. Traditionally time averaged instrumentation is used in such a cascade. Detailed intermittency readings were taken inside the... Read More about Time resolved measurements in the Durham Cascade.
