Fahrleistung, Fahrverhalten und Komfort eines Automobils werden nachhaltig von seinen aerodynamischen Eigenschaften bestimmt. Ein niedriger Luftwiderstand ist die Voraussetzung dafür, dass die hochgesteckten Verbrauchziele erreicht werden. Die Aerodynamik des Automobils ist 1981 erstmalig erschienen und seitdem zu einem Standardwerk geworden. Der Stoff ist von Praktikern erarbeitet worden, die aus einer Vielzahl von Versuchen strömungsmechanische Zusammenhänge ableiten und Strategien beschreiben. Bei unveränderter Gesamtkonzeption wurden die 7. Auflage mit aktuellen Erkenntnissen und Berichten zu den gesetzlichen Rahmenbedingungen, zur instationären Aerodynamik, zur Numerik und vielen weiteren Aspekten und Forschungsfeldern angereichert.

The digital humanities intensify the cooperation between the science disciplines in terms of working tools, working methods, and working organization, and in terms of formulating research strategies and scientific objectives. The design for researching the networking of disciplines, approaches, and objects is reflected in the terms'Document - Object - Genesis'. This volume discusses the possibilities and limits in a wider factual and theoretical context using the example of the joint venture project entitled'Weser sandstone as global cultural asset - Innovation in the construction industry and its worldwide spread in the pre-industrial era (16th to 19th century)', in which art and architectural history, economic history, information technology, and architecture are discussed.

The detailed presentation of fundamental aerodynamics principles that influence and improve vehicle design have made Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles the engineer's “source” for information. This fifth edition features updated and expanded information beyond that which was presented in previous releases. Completely new content covers lateral stability, safety and comfort, wind noise, high performance vehicles, helmets, engine cooling, and computational fluid dynamics. A proven, successful engineering design approach is presented that includes: •Fundamentals of fluid mechanics related to vehicle aerodynamics •Essential experimental results that are the ground rules of fluid mechanics •Design strategies for individual experimental results •General design solutions from combined experimental results The aerodynamics of passenger cars, commercial vehicles, motorcycles, sports cars, and race cars is dealt with in detail, inclusive of systems, testing techniques, measuring and numerical aerodynamics methods and simulations that significantly contribute to vehicle development. Aerodynamics of Road Vehicles is an excellent reference tool and an indispensable source for the industry's vehicle engineers, designers, and researchers, as well as for enthusiasts, students, and those working in academia or government regulatory agencies.
