This book provides a timely update on turbulence research within transportation, exploring the exploitation of turbulent flow for more efficient transport, through aerodynamics and combustion engine improvement.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Turbulence in transportation occurs in the aerodynamics of vehicles, hydrodynamics of watercrafts, and combustion engines, amongst others. Turbulent flows can greatly affect the performance of vehicles, from air and water resistance, noise, and combustion quality - but it can also be exploited to improve the efficiency of the involved engineering operations. Understanding how turbulence effects occur within various transport modes can help engineers build better performing and safer vehicles, and overall improve transport networks.

This book provides a timely update on turbulence research within transportation, and the exploitation of turbulent flow for more efficient transport, through aerodynamics, hydrodynamics and combustion engine improvement.

The book starts with an introduction to the many scenarios in which flow turbulence can be further harnessed within transportation engineering. Later the book details selected latest applications of flow turbulence to enhance the efficiency of essential engineering operations in transport, in particular in aerodynamics and combustion engines.

Flow Turbulence Engineering in Transport is a useful aid for new and experienced researchers and engineers working in thermofluids, especially those whose research involves turbulent flow. It offers a look at selected latest exploitations of flow turbulence in enhancing the efficiency of essential engineering operations in transport, highlighting the latest and future advancements in this field.
