Dynamics and Motion
Areas include:
- Applied Aerodynamics (Wind Tunnel Platform and FLAIR);
- Aerodynamics;
- Energy (extension to aerodynamics including rolling resistance etc...);
- Aero acoustics measuring (wind induced noise-interaction between wind and vehicle which generates wind noise);
- HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning);
- Wind Engineering (structural loads and pedestrian level winds of supporting infrastructure);
- Mechanical Systems Design;
- Computer simulation;
- High speed train aerodynamics;
- Rail/wheel contact mechanics-carried out many three-dimensional -wheel-rail contact simulations; and
- Inter-modal freight train energy efficiency.
