...Erik Josefsson; Teddy Hobeika; Simone Sebben; Magnus Urquhart The wheels of a passenger vehicle are one of the major contributors to the total aerodynamic drag, making their aerodynamic performance a considerable factor for the overall energy efficiency of the vehicle. Previous studies have shown...

...S. Krajnović; S. Sarmast; B. Basara The flow around generic wheels in wheel housings used in previous experimental investigations is studied using large eddy simulations (LES). A comparison is given here of the results of the simulations with existing experimental data and previous results of RANS...

...M. A. van den Berg; X. Zhang The fundamental aerodynamic influence of downstream wheels on a front wing flow field and vice versa has been investigated using generic wind tunnel models. The research has been conducted using a wing with a fixed configuration, whereas the wing ride height...

...Sven König; Bernd Stoffel A comprehensive investigation was carried out using two different experimental setups: A 1.5-stage axial turbine and a simplified model, a “spoked-wheel” setup with a rotating wake generator consisting of cylindrical bars. The second stator of the turbine was designed...
