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.
