The measurement of flow patterns and turbulence around road vehicles, trains etc. has long been used to assess their aerodynamic efficiency and to optimise design.

Dantec Dynamics' measurement systems are widely used in this work, both in wind tunnels and in situ.

The benefits derived from aerodynamic optimisation include reduced fuel consumption, greater stability, lower noise levels and increased passenger comfort.

Application areas include:

  • Car body aerodynamics
  • Strain/stress & vibration of car body parts
  • Drag reduction
  • Aero-acoustics research
  • Passenger compartment flow
  • Engine compartment flows
  • Engine combustion diagnostics
  • Exhaust systems
  • Flows in radiators, ducts and brakes
  • High speed train aerodynamics
  • CFD code validation
Application examples: Solution used:
