Flow Around Cambered and Yawed Pneumatic Tyres
… 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 field data around the lower surfaces of the tyre and …

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Wing-Gust Encounters
… were conducted using flat plate wing models in a water towing tank. Data was acquired using a combination of Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV), dye flow visualisation, and force measurements. A novel methodology was also developed to isolate added mass effects from standard resolution PIV. The …

Unsteady Aerodynamics of Wing–Vortex Gust Encounters
… Three sets of experiments are conducted in a water towing-tank facility. Force balance and planar particle image velocimetry data is acquired. The production of starting vortices by a linearly pitching NACA0021 wing is first investigated to refine a method for generating vortex gusts. The …

An Experimental Investigation of Underbody and Near Wake Aerodynamics of Heavy Goods Vehicles
… scale models of a generic HGV are tested in a water towing tank. The first model is a simplistic truck geometry with a smooth underside, whilst the second accurately represents the underbody detail and has rotating wheels. The models are towed along the tank, establishing correct ground …
