Vaughn The implications of integration with automation are remarkable - allowing While preparing this introduction, I decided designers and engineers to map the performance of their product over an to take a trip back through history, by entire design space. This will not only provide a more complete picture of how a product actually performs in service, but will free the user from the flicking through the back-issues of mechanics of actually performing the CFD calculations, providing more time for true engineering analysis and thus leading to unprecedented Dynamics magazine, going all the way back innovation. to the Summer of 1994, when we As examples of these automation capabilities, I encourage you to take a published the first ever issue. Obviously, look at a few features in the current and upcoming releases of STAR-CCM+: during that time, the sophistication of the • Dynamic Fluid Body Interaction (DFBI) capability - allows you to simulate the fluid induced motion of a body, requiring little or no simulations undertaken by our users has additional user effort over performing a standard static mesh increased (the first issue included a 2-D calculation (see pages 32 -33 of this magazine). • Mesh Morphing - automatically and robustly adjusts the volume mesh simulation of two trains passing), however to account for bodies in motion or simply changing shapes. Note that this can be used in conjunction with DFBI. what really struck me was the way in • Boundary Layer Transition Modeling - predicts the transition from which CAE (and specifically CFD) has laminar to turbulent boundary layer. • Native CAD Import - allows you to robustly import your native CAD transformed from being a specialist R&D models (NO IGES/STEP TRANSLATION!!!). • Surface Mesh Projection to CAD - maintains the integrity of the mesh tool, to becoming a truly integrated part of by projecting the surface back to the imported analytical geometry. the product design cycle.

Emerging technologies continually challenge the rules governing the sport as designers, engineers, sports scientists and athletes attempt to gain the edge on their competition. This study compares the aerodynamic drag force of three 3D-printed bicycle helmet prototypes with three commercially available helmets via aerodynamic testing in a wind tunnel. One 3D printed helmet featured a mechanical mechanism allowing two states of ventilation to be examined for aerodynamic efficiency, while another featured electronically adjustable ventilation tested at five different states of ventilation opening.

  • Body Size and Cycling Performance
    Body size and cycling performance BODY SIZE AND CYCLING PERFORMANCE Scott Olive, BApplSci (Exercise and Sports Science) Thesis submitted for the degree of Master of Sports Science (Hons) The University of New South Wales 1996 Body size and cycling performance ABSTRACT In many sports body size, shape and composition are major factors which determine performance. In cycling body size is a determinant of both energy supply and energy demand. On the demand side the primary retarding force encountered by cyclists is air resistance, which is directly proportional to the projected frontal area of the cyclist (~)- On the supply side the rate of power production is a function of body size. This study has formed part of a much larger study into the improve­ ment of cycling performance through the development of a "first-principles" mathematical model of cycling performance. Some of this work has been pub­ lished recently (Olds, Norton, Lowe, Olive, Reay & Ly, 1995; Olds, Norton, Craig, Olive & Lowe, 1995; Olive, Norton, Olds & Lowe, 1993). In this study extensive laboratory testing was used to measure the power supply and anthropometric variables of 53 cyclists (39 male, 14 female). Relationships were determined between anthropometric characteristics and ~- The rela­ tionships between power supply variables and body size were also established using both empirical and theoretical models. A mathematical model of cycling performance was then used to simulate the effects of varying body size, shape composition and position on cycling performance. The major findings of this study were: • The lack of unanimity in previous estimates of ~ is most likely due to technical factors in the measurement process; • ~ is closely related to height, mass and body surface area (BSA) and particularly to the riding position adopted.

    International Conference on Mechanical, Industrial and Materials Engineering 2017 (ICMIME2017) 28-30 December, 2017, RUET, Rajshahi, Bangladesh. Paper ID: KL-01 Aerodynamics: A Tool to Achieve Glory in Speed Sports Firoz Alam School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering, RMIT University Melbourne, Australia E-mail: [email protected] Abstract Aerodynamics has a major impact on the performance of athletes and their sports equipment. Sports balls, sports garments and sports equipment- all are affected by aero/hydrodynamics as their speed, motion (position and placement) and ultimately performance are dictated by aero/hydrodynamics. As in all competitive sports, the winning margin is progressively reducing the gain achieved by understanding and utilizing the effect of aero/hydrodynamics has become a paramount. This paper reviews the latest aerodynamics advances in some popular sports including soccer, football, tennis, golf, and cricket, baseball, swimming and cycling. Keywords: aerodynamics, hydrodynamics, sports balls, sports garments, swimming. 1. Introduction Enhancement of performance has become a necessity for all speed sports today. Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics, technological advancement of equipment and sports gears, biomechanics, psychology, physiology, natural talent and perseverance- all are playing vital role in augmenting the performance and ultimate outcome [1-3]. Among all, aero/hydrodynamics is considered central in almost every speed sports in which the performance is the result of the optimal motion of the athlete and/or equipment in the air or water. From ball games such as golf, tennis, baseball, cricket, soccer, rugby, American football, Australian football to athletics, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, ski jumping, cycling, swimming, speed skating, bobsleigh, skeleton, javelin, discus, motor sport and many others, the application of some basic principles of aerodynamic can make the ultimate difference between winners and losers [3-12].

NOVAK B.Design (Architecture), B.Design (Product), Honours (Digital Media) Queensland College of Art Griffith University Gold Coast, Australia Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Supervisors: Dr Dale Patterson Professor Jennifer Loy March 2018 i ABSTRACT As the boundaries between the physical and digital worlds increasingly blur, there is concern that humans are becoming subservient to computers and machines. Human- centred design principles are quickly forgotten as new technologies become the focus of research and commercial interest, resulting in a gizmo culture. Computing technology has become ubiquitous, however, the ubiquitous computing vision is yet to be realised after decades of developing ever faster, smaller and cheaper sensors. While ubiquitous computing research has been dominated by engineering and computing disciplines, this thesis argues that today, the majority of technological hurdles to more human-centred interactions between people and technology have been overcome, and designers must now lead development of products that empower humans and encourage more sustainable relationships with technology. Specifically, product and industrial designers are being enabled by new software to develop more life-like products that have both physical and digital presence, no longer creating single static solutions to problems, but designing systems whereby products can adapt and evolve over time.

Avdeev Evaluation of drag coefficient often requires wind tunnel experiments and can be prohibitively expensive if not impossible for large objects or systems. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) aerodynamic analysis offers an alternative approach and can be used as a very effective design tool in many industries: automotive, aerospace, marine, etc. The main objective of this research is to investigate feasibility of using non-contact digitizers for developing finite element models of large objects for subsequent CFD analysis.
