The aerodynamics of Formula One car cooling ducts.
Formula One teams expend a large amount of effort optimising the aerodynamics of the exterior of the cars. However, there is comparatively little understanding of the mechanisms governing the flow through the sidepod ducts. These contain the heat exchang,ers for cooling the engine and gearbox. The …

Being Jacques Villeneuve: Formula One, 'agency' and the fan
In this thesis, I analyse my fandom for the Formula One driver, Jacques Villeneuve. Despite its rampant commercialism, innovative mediation, prestige and popular status within global sport, Formula One is surprisingly an under-researched topic in academia. Moreover, 'intense' fandom has often been …

Experimental and numerical developments in predicting the crashworthiness of Formula One composite structures
The use of composite crash structures in Formula One (F1) has been the subject of extensive research and investment over the past few decades, with the aim of increasing driver safety. However, these structures are quite costly to produce, and they need to be experimentally certified before being …

Flow Around Cambered and Yawed Pneumatic Tyres
… is presented which enables an isolated tyre with Formula One inspired wheel geometry to be towed through a water towing tank at variable axle height, camber and yaw, with a highly accurate ground condition. This uses a PIV set-up with cameras under a glass floor to give high resolution 3D velocity …

Automated multi-stage geometry parameterization of internal fluid flow applications
… studies, two diverse applications, a Formula One airbox and a human carotid artery bifurcation, can be concisely represented through a global parameterization followed by a local parameterization.

Development of a Finite Element Model for Predicting the Impact Energy Absorbing Performance of a Composite Structure
… where weight must be kept to a minimum. Formula SAE (FSAE) race cars are designed and built by college students, roughly following the model of a scaled down Formula One car. Strict regulations are placed on specific components of the car in the interest of equalizing competition and …

An investigation of the validity of auditing procedures used in mean-per-unit sampling plans
… estimator in conjunction with the sample size formula? One objective of the study was to provide evidence that a potential problem exists when using traditional statistical sampling techniques with non-normal auditing populations. Another objective of the research was to provide recommendations …

Predictive Methods for the Fire Resistance of Single Skin and Sandwich Composite Materials
… as military aircraft, offshore lifeboats and formula one racing cars.<br/><br/>One aspect of composite materials which is preventing more widespread use is the<br/>perceived poor performance in fire. The perception is due to the fact that organic<br/>compounds used in polymer composites are …

An investigation into motorsport sponsorship: a comparative analysis of two and four wheeled sponsorship
… between car and bike racing, as represented by Formula One and MotoGp, to establish any differences in approach. The initial historical element of the research revealed that motor sport had been sponsored by vehicle manufacturers since the origins of the petrol combustion engine in the late 19th …
