Navier-Stokes Equations: Great Books for Hydrodynamics, Aerodynamics, and Incompressible Flow While many will recognize these topics as being different, the heavy emphasis on incompressible flow of most of these texts is what has led my to place them in the same category. This section is a catchall page for the general topics of hydrodynamics, aerodynamics and incompressible flow. Theoretical Aerodynamics by L.M. Milne-Thomson, Dover, 1958: There is a good section on subsonic and supersonic aerodynamics in this text in addition to the standard incompressible flow discussions. www.navier-stokes.net /nsgbh.htm   (303 words)

National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure: Archives Such air flow simulations all fall under the general category of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and computational aerodynamics. Computer simulations of wing aerodynamics help engineers improve their designs and understand the limits of those designs. The canard provides advantages for the mission envisioned for this vehicle, but the air streaming behind the canard also affects how air flows over the main wing. www.npaci.edu /enVision/v14.3/diaz.html   (303 words)

360 GTC - Topic Powered by Groupee Community The aerodynamics are substantially different to the 360 GT, given that the 360 GTC has been newly homologated by FIA/ACO from the Challenge Stradale, taking up from its basic elements: front bumper, side skirts, engine cover and double rear end. December 15, 2003 03:33 AM The 360GTC is made for the race track, specifically for FIA GT series for which they are classified under the N-GT category. December 08, 2003 05:28 PM Here are some photo's of The all new 360 GTC which will debut at the Bologna Motor Show next week. fd.infopop.cc /eve/ubb.x/a/tpc/f/1056012904/m/4566010315   (684 words)

Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione - RSportsCars.com The Italian GT championship kicked off with the new Ferrari 575 GTC Evoluzione 2005 and the 550 Maranello appearing in the main class and the 360 GTC in the N-GT category. The aerodynamics were completely revised with the addition of a new splitter and air intake on the modified bonnet. The Ferrari Corse Clienti department has made changes to the original version with the collaboration of the technical GT head, Maurizio Nardon. www.rsportscars.com /eng/cars/ferrari_575gtc.asp   (684 words)

TheAutobahn.com - 956/962 The resulting IMSA-spec version, designated 962, incorporated a 2.4-inch extension to the wheelbase to accommodate the footbox regulation along with slightly differing bodywork to accommodate IMSA requirements, which resembled the \"longtail\" aerodynamics developed for the 956 at Le Mans. The genesis of the concept was the introduction of the Group C category for the 1982 World Endurance Championship, which was instituted to expand manufacturer interest in the series. European rule makers ultimately copied their IMSA regarding the driver’s footbox, so Porsche adapted the 962 back to Group C. For 1985, the works team replaced its 956s with 962C models that were powered by water-cooled three-liter versions of the familiar flat-six turbo. www.flat-6.net /forum/showthread.php?t=217   (684 words)

SUPERCARS.NET - 1997 Porsche 911 GT1 Regulations for the GT1 category stipulated that to be eligible, cars must be capable of registration for road use, and in developing the road version of the 911 GT1 Porsche met the most stringent EU requirements. Changes to the 1997 'Evo' GT1 were confined mainly to improving aerodynamics as the race car gradually metamorphosed further away from its production-based origins, though the new kidney-shaped headlights echoed the similar units on the recently introduced Type 996 version of the perennial 911. Regulation changes saw Porsche forced to use smaller turbo intake restrictors on the 911 GT1 for 1997, costing them around 50bhp and rendering the car un-competitive against McLaren's improved FI and Mercedes-Benz's new CLK until the change was reversed part way through the season. www.supercars.net /VC?id=1548   (1399 words)

Aviation The vast majority of flights flown around the world each day belong to the general aviation category, ranging from recreational balloon flying to civilian flight training to business trips to firefighting to medevac flights to cargo transportation on freight aircraft. In the case of aerodynamic lift, the aircraft is kept in the air because of aerodynamics, usually by means of wings, or rotors, of some kind. Within general aviation, the major distinction is between private flights (where the pilot is not paid for time or expenses) and commercial flights (where the pilot is paid by a customer or employer). read-and-go.hopto.org /Aviation   (1576 words)

Sport If you want real wheel to wheel racing, forget formula one Champcars have more suspension movement than the current generation of rock-hard formula one car and their aerodynamics enable them to slipstream one another to good effect. The US Cart series - or Champcars as it now wishes to be known - may be regarded as second division by formula one snobs but the fact that it produces better pure racing than just about any other single-seater category reflects the qualities that were on very public display here. Slipstreaming is the technique whereby a car runs close to its rival in front, benefiting from the hole in the air created by the car ahead and allowing it to accelerate faster in a pocket of reduced drag. sport.guardian.co.uk /print/0,3858,4262998-108368,00.html   (1576 words)

Aircraft - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In the case of aerodynamic lift, the aircraft is kept in the air by wings or rotors (see aerodynamics). The vast majority of flights flown around the world each day belong to the general aviation category, ranging from recreational balloon flying to civilian flight training to business trips to firefighting to medevac flights to cargo transportation on freight aircraft. Fixed-wing aircraft generally use an internal-combustion engine in the form of a piston engine (with a propeller) or a turbine engine (jet or turboprop), to provide thrust that moves the craft forward through the air. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Aircraft   (1674 words)

Heroes of the Pacific Hands-On Preview - PC News at GameSpot Heroes of the Pacific easily falls into the "flight sim lite" category, because it's the kind of game where shooting down planes and blowing up things on the ground are far more important than realistic aerodynamics or the number of gauges in the cockpit. However, if you do have a joystick, then there is a setting in the PC version that will appeal to you. Then again, it probably has to be, since it seems that fewer PC gamers nowadays have a gamepad, let alone a joystick. gamespot.com /pc/sim/heroes_of_the_pacific/news.html?sid=6134563&...   (990 words)

ipedia.com: Aircraft Article In the case of aerodynamic lift, the aircraft is kept in the air because of aerodynamics, usually by means of wings of some kind. Among aerodynamically lifted aircraft, the largest number falls in the category of fixed-wing aircraft, where horizontal surfaces produce lift, by profiting from the Coanda effect (aeroplane or airplane). The number of lift surfaces varied greatly in the pre-1950 period, as biplanes (two wings) and triplanes (three wings) were numerous in the early days of aviation. www.ipedia.com /aircraft.html   (1117 words)

CanAm - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jim Hall's 2 series Chaparrals were leaders in the application of aerodynamics to racecars culminating with the introduction of the 2E in 1966, the first of the high wing race cars. Group 7 had arisen as a category for non-homologated sports car 'specials' in Europe and for a while in the 1960s Group 7 racing was popular in the United Kingdom as well as a class in hillclimb racing in Europe. Some Group 7 cars were also built in Japan by Nissan and Toyota, but these did not compete outside their homeland (though some of the Can-Am competitors went over to race against them occasionally). en.wikipedia.org /wiki/CanAm   (1523 words)
