Aerodynamics simulations of ground vehicles in unsteady crosswind [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2011
Ground vehicles, both on roads or on rail, are sensitive to crosswinds and the handling, travelling speeds or in some cases, safety can be affected.

Numerical Investigation of Unsteady Crosswind Aerodynamics for Ground Vehicles [Elektronisk resurs]

open access: yes, 2009
Ground vehicles are subjected to crosswind from various origins such as weather, topography of the ambient environment (land, forest, tunnels, high bushes...) or surrounding traffic.

Disrupted Skies: How Offshore Wind Farms Alter Flight Behavior of Breeding Seabirds. [PDF]

open access: yesEcol Evol
Using high‐resolution 1‐s tracking bursts collected every hour, we quantified within‐trajectory flight behavior of breeding Bridled Terns near offshore wind farms. Birds showed increased mean redirection and lower flight altitude when trajectories were more closely aligned with turbine directions from the colony, suggesting localized, direction ...

Optimization for Circulating Cooling Water Distribution of Indirect Dry Cooling System in a Thermal Power Plant under Crosswind Condition with Evolution Strategies Algorithm

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Crosswind has an adverse impact on the performance of an indirect dry cooling system. In order to mitigate the adverse influence, this study redistributed the circulating cooling water among air-cooled heat exchanger sectors so that the performance of ...

Influence of Marshalling Length on Aerodynamic Characteristics of Urban Emus under Crosswind [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Applied Fluid Mechanics, 2022
Urban electric multiple units (EMUs) is based on high-speed trains and metro vehicle technology. Their design speeds are generally from 160km/h to 200km/h, which mitigates the low operating speeds of metro vehicles. Traditional crosswind calculations for

Numerical Study on the Influence Mechanism of Crosswind on Frozen Phenomena in a Direct Air-Cooled System

open access: yesEnergies, 2020
The frozen phenomenon is unfavorable for the direct air-cooled condensers (DACCs) in a very cold area. The effect of crosswind on frozen phenomena in DACCs at the representative 2 × 350 MW thermal power units was investigated numerically.
