Explore the fascinating world of viscosity,a core concept in fluid mechanics that describes a fluid's resistance to flow.
With golf club head speeds well into triple digits, aerodynamics is a discipline Callaway has studied for years. For its latest driver, the XR16, the company sought a fresh approach to moving ...
The tricky part with any aerodynamic improvement to trailers — dry van, flatbed, tanker, etc. — is controlling the cost component for fleets, and not just in terms of the purchase price.
The Dodge Ram will retain its 5.7-liter Hemi gas engine, which pumps out 383 hp and 400 lbs.-ft. of torque, as well as its Cummins turbo diesel rated at 350 hp and 650 lbs.-ft. of torque. But the ...
An aerodynamics team at Swansea University – funded by EPSRC – is playing a vital role. Using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), the team has spent the last year creating the predictive ...
Flow control techniques and aerodynamic improvements developed at the Georgia Institute of Technology could save the U.S. trucking industry hundreds of millions of gallons of fuel per year. Recent ...
