Aerodynamic shape optimisation using CFD requires a method to parameterise the surface, a method to deform the surface and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) volume mesh related to the chosen shape ...

By understanding some basic aerodynamic principles, it becomes possible to identify these components, understand the magnitude of their different contributions to the overall drag, and see how we can ...

As a result, aerodynamic drag issues have been preventing ... model and an optimization algorithm to improve the structural shapes of AV sensors. Finally, they performed simulations of both ...
