Abstract: A numerical technique was developed to investigate the performance of automotive lifting surfaces in close proximity to ground. The model is based on the Vortex Lattice Method and includes ...

Abstract: I would like to start this editorial by expressing my gratitude to three Associate Editors who have recently completed their three-year terms. Professor Peter Bradshaw has provided his unparalleled ...

Abstract: A quarter-scale model of an enclosed wheel racing car was tested using the elevated ground plane wind tunnel technique. To increase the aerodynamic down force, two longitudinal underbody channels ...

Abstract: The aerodynamic performance of a two-element airfoil with a 90 deg. trailing edge flap was experimentally investigated. The 5 percent-chord long flap, significantly increased the lift of the ...

Abstract: The effects of aerodynamic modifications near the rear deck of a passenger-car based race car were investigated experimentally. The modifications were evaluated on a quarter-scale wind tunnel ...

Abstract: The present paper describes a flow visualization study that focuses the development of a tip vortex on a rectangular NACA-66 hydrofoil. The experiments have been performed in a towing tank. ...

Abstract: A vertical jet or fountain, whose velocity is opposite to the direction of its buoyant force, reverses direction after reaching a maximum penetration depth. This penetration depth is measured ...

Abstract: This paper describes a series of quantitative flow visualization experiments within the volute of a centrifugal pump by implementing the “Particle Displacement Velocimetry” method (PDV or PIV). ...

Abstract: PDV is used for measuring the velocity within the volute of a centrifugal pump at different impeller blade orientations, on and off design conditions. It is demonstrated that the flow is ...
