Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
An overview of the fluid- and pressure field and the resultant air resistance at the vehicle is given. The partial resistances occurring at the vehicle are shown and the possibility for detail optimization. In detail the operating mode of output assistances as foils, spoilers, ground effect and diffusors at high efficient vehicles are treated. Furthermore the aerodynamics of utility vehicles and rail vehicles and the aerodynamics of train-tunnel-systems are descripted. Accompanying to the lecture we offer exercises to some topics in the wind tunnel.
