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

Summary
Wind profiler network for planetary boundary layer research. Understanding winds in the lower atmosphere is of great fundamental and practical importance. This new wind monitoring network will help Australian scientists to better predict propagation of tropical cyclones, to improve the efficiency of wind energy production, and to better understand atmosphere-ocean interactions affecting weather and climate.
