Its fun to track torque and horsepower numbers, but aerodynamics has become almost as important when it comes to building ...

Aerodynamic drag reduction remains a pivotal area in automotive design, balancing fuel efficiency with performance and safety. Advances in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling, experimental ...

Deformation control volumes are set for the front sensor, front-side sensor, roof sensor, and rear-side sensor, which significantly impact the aerodynamic drag coefficient. The sensor shapes can be ...

Everyone eagerly awaits Tesla to reveal Cybertruck's specifications, the most important being its range and efficiency. Until then, a simulation based on a publicly available 3D model shows that the ...

Aerodynamics are an important consideration in modern EVs. Lowering aerodynamic drag improves efficiency, allowing for more range from a given battery-pack size. But it bears emphasis: This is far ...

Ram might kill two birds with one stone by offering a common aftermarket accessory that also improves the truck's aerodynamics at the same time.

AAs surprising as it may seem, this is a typical road load power required relationship to vehicle speed. As rolling resistance and aerodynamic loading increase, so does the amount of power required to ...

Trailer aerodynamics devices can improve fuel efficiency by 1% to 10%. The gap between the trailer and tractor, the underbody, and the rear of the trailer are three areas ripe for drag reductions. A ...

It sounds a little like a trick question. After all, automakers and race teams alike spend piles of cash trying to improve their vehicles' aerodynamics, so why would anyone design a body part that ...

Automobiles and airplanes are brothers in that they were born into the same family—transportation— and they are both primarily dependent on the internal combustion engine for mobility. Shortly after ...

Researchers focus on enhancing the aerodynamic performance of autonomous vehicles by reducing drag induced by externally mounted sensors such as cameras and light detection and ranging instruments.
