Increasing fuel prices force the manufacturers to look into all aspects of car aerodynamics including wheels, tyres and rims in order to minimize their drag. By diminishing the aerodynamic drag of vehicle the fuel consumption will decrease, while driving safety and comfort will improve. In order to properly illustrate the impact of a rotating wheel aerodynamics on the car body, precise analysis...

پس از اختراع خودرو، بشر بزودی به رابطه میان مقاومت هوا و حرکت اتومبیل پی برد. به مرور زمان با بهبود عملکرد خودروها از جهات مختلف و بالارفتن قیمت سوخت، بهبود آیرودینامیکی نیز به مسأله‌ای اساسی تبدیل شد. پژوهشگران دریافتند که توجه به آیرودینامیک نه تنها برای دستیابی به سرعت‌های بالاتر، بلکه به منظور کاهش مصرف سوخت و ایجاد پایداری مناسب در خودرو، امری ضروری است. به همین دلیل تاکنون تحقیقات زیادی د...

The NASA Langley Research Center, in cooperation with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, participated in a preliminary design study of the Entry, Descent and Landing phase for the Mars Smart Lander Project. This concept utilizes advances in Guidance, Navigation and Control technology to significantly reduce uncertainty in the vehicle landed location on the Mars surface. A candidate entry vehicle co...

This paper uses robust pole assignment method to design an adaptive velocity and altitude tracking control algorithm for the longitudinal model of a wave rider configuration air-breathing hypersonic vehicle, which has strong coupling between structure, propulsion and aerodynamics. Base on the elastic hypersonic vehicle model CSUAL_GHV, the simulations using adaptive robust pole assignment contr...

Historically, the design of subsonic and supersonic aircraft has been divided into separate technical disciplines (such as propulsion, aerodynamics and structures), each of which performs design and analysis in relative isolation from others. This is possible, in most cases, either because the amount of interdisciplinary coupling is minimal, or because the interactions can be treated as linear....
