Happy new year! A good bit of news that came through over the Christmas period was our latest publication on the unsteady aerodynamics associated with platooning vehicles. Here is a link to the paper: authors.elsevier.com/a/1cHlIc73TXVaf UoB Engineering BCRRE UoB Wind Engineering
One of our PhD students Xiaotian has just published a paper considering the aerodynamics associated with platooning vehicles travelling through confined spaces. Here is a link to the paper: authors.elsevier.com/c/1cSJBc73TXVfq UoB Engineering BCRRE UoB Wind Engineering
Firstly, something a little different... In 2021 we collaborated with colleagues in BCRRE on non-aerodynamics testing for RFID technologies. TRAIN rig - University of Birmingham provided an ideal test bed for these novel sensors. UoB Engineering mdpi.com/1424-8220/22/6ā¦
Our latest publication continues along our research theme of close running ground vehicles, assessing what happens in crosswind conditions. We also have more exciting CAV news coming very soon! UoB Engineering UoB Wind Engineering BCRRE doi.org/10.3389/ffutr.ā¦
We recently collaborated with RSSB on a project to assess the interaction of exhaust gases with HVAC units on trains. The final reports from this important work has just been published. sparkrail.org/Lists/Records/ā¦ UoB Engineering UoB Wind Engineering BCRRE
Are you an SME in the (D2N2) Rail Sector Supply Chain? Fancy learning more about the TRAIN rig and how our research facility can help you? We are delighted to host an event with the I4R team on 21st July. For more info and to book: railforum.uk/events/showcasā¦ University of Derby BCRRE
Last week we were pleased to host Innovate4Rail and Rail Forum for a workshop event TRAIN rig - University of Birmingham to learn about aerodynamic research opportunities. BCRRE UoB Engineering University of Derby
This week we are at the #RailTech2022 conference in Montpellier presenting our collaborative research with VTG Rail Europe on freight wagon aerodynamics. BCRRE UoB Engineering UoB Wind Engineering
We've had a fun week collaborating with colleagues at TU Eindhoven as part of the ERIES project. We are expanding our TRAIN rig - University of Birmingham research on close-proximity vehicles in overtaking maneuverers to support autonomous road freight solutions UoB Wind Engineering UoB Engineering
Our PhD student Zhen Liu has recently had her research on developing a numerical solution for freight train aerodynamics in tunnels published. Check it out! BCRRE UoB Engineering UoB Wind Engineering sciencedirect.com/science/articlā¦
We've also had our reports published from a recent RSSB project we conducted to look at air quality on trains. UoB Wind Engineering BCRRE UoB Engineering rssb.co.uk/research-catalā¦
This week we are really pleased to be attending the Aerovehicles5 conference in Poitiers. Here Sam is presenting our recent platoon research results. BCRRE UoB Engineering UoB Wind Engineering
We are pleased that the TRAIN rig - University of Birmingham is part of a Ā£23m infrastructure grant awarded to the NWTF by URKI that will create 11 new wind tunnels, an experimental database and upgrades to existing facilities.
