The research topic that has been awarded is “Space-time computational analysis of tire’s aerodynamics with real-life tire patterns and road contact”. As the TGU research objective being “investigation of tire’s thermo-fluid computational analysis”, it is necessary to first overcome the computational challenges for representing tires’ operation. Here, we first perform iso-thermal fluid computation analysis on a single tire. A computational framework with special computational strategies is applied so that complex tire patterns, rotating-contacting behavior and tire deformation are enabled. I am flattered that my approach drew interest by researchers from various fields, and I am grateful that the presentation is rewarded and approved by fellow researchers. I would like to thank the TGU project as well for supporting this research with great effort. |
