Engineering design research putting the brakes on turbulence
…s such as brakes is vital to quality performance, especially in minimising undesirable vibrations. During an initial collaboration with Bentley Motors, research at the University of Huddersfield on brake discs led to a set of design equations which correlated the characteristics of fluid flow with the component’s geometry. These equations were used to establish an inverse design code which led to many different applications for engineering. Engine…
