Abstract des Autors
Aerodynamic drag is the main source of losses in cycling so improving the bicycle aerodynamic is a fundamental key factor to increase the performance. The aim of this research is to evaluate and compare the aerodynamic performance of racing bicycle wheels by means of CFD RANS numerical models: it is based on a previous work that reported the development of the numerical model. The aim of this work is to assess the capability of CFD RANS simulations to predict the aerodynamic performance of modern racing bicycle wheels. Drag and side forces are resolved over the range of different yaw angles.
