  • Laser doppler anemometry measurements in the near-wake of an isolated formula one wheel 
    Saddington, A. J.; Knowles, R. D.; Knowles, Kevin (Springer Science Business Media, 2007-05-01)
    An experimental investigation was conducted to identify the main structures in the near wake of an isolated Formula One wheel rotating in ground contact. A 50 percent-scale isolated wheel assembly, geometrically similar ...
  • Monoposto racecar wheel aerodynamics: investigation of near-wake structure and support-sting interference 
    Knowles, R. D. (Cranfield UniversityDepartment of Aerospace, Power and Sensors, 2007-12-12)
    Monoposto racecar development is routinely carried out using wheels supported not by the car suspension but by individual, externally-mounted stings. The interference effect of these stings was acknowledged but unquantified ...
  • On the near wake of a Formula One front wheel 
    Knowles, R. D.; Saddington, A. J.; Knowles, Kevin (Professional Engineering Publishing, 2013-12-31)
    Velocity measurements were made in the near wake of the front wheel of a Formula One car using a laser Doppler anemometer. Tests were carried out on a 50% scale in a closed-return three-quarter open-jet wind tunnel. Three ...
  • Planar visualization of vortical flows 
    Knowles, R. D.; Finnis, Mark V.; Saddington, A. J.; Knowles, Kevin (SAGE Publications, 2006-06-01)
    This article presents two over-looked post-processing techniques which provide the investigator with additional tools for data analysis and visualization. Both techniques exploit the trend for planar experimental data ...
