Summary
Flow measurement for large-scale industrial aerodynamics. This project aims to research the unsteady aerodynamic wakes of cars, trucks, athletes, turbines and micro-air vehicles. Researchers will use the flow measurement system for large-scale industrial aerodynamics to resolve high speed and large scale industrial flows. The system’s primary objective will be the characterisation of complex, three-dimensional turbulent flows. It is anticipated that the research will lead to reduced aerodynamic ....Flow measurement for large-scale industrial aerodynamics. This project aims to research the unsteady aerodynamic wakes of cars, trucks, athletes, turbines and micro-air vehicles. Researchers will use the flow measurement system for large-scale industrial aerodynamics to resolve high speed and large scale industrial flows. The system’s primary objective will be the characterisation of complex, three-dimensional turbulent flows. It is anticipated that the research will lead to reduced aerodynamic drag in transport and improve wind power generation, ultimately reducing emissions and improving efficiency and national competitiveness in sport. The advanced system will strengthen Australia’s position as an advanced engineering design hub.Read moreRead less

Reduced fuel consumption through aerodynamic optimisation and the development of a new fuel consumption model for inter-modal trains in Australia. This project aims to improve intermodal freight train efficiency by developing new experimental and computational analytical techniques leading to aerodynamic optimisation and improved fuel consumption models. The aerodynamics solutions will be widely applicable to other rail and ground transportation modes.
