10th FKFS-Conference Progress in Vehicle Aerodynamics and Thermal Management

Aerodynamik und Thermomanagement spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der Fahrzeugforschung und –entwicklung. Die FKFS-Conference bietet Experten aus Industrie und Wissenschaft die Gelegenheit, sich über neueste Ergebnisse aus Forschung und Entwicklung zu informieren und sie zu diskutieren. Zusätzlich ermöglichen es Demonstrationen im Windkanal des Instituts, Einblick in neueste Messtechniken zu gewinnen.

The development engineer is concerned with the interactions of all systems in the complete automobile to ensure that totally different components and systems work together in harmony.

Opposite requirements have often/ mostly to be fulfilled. As an example, customers are expecting maximum power from the engine of their cars, however the automobile is still required to deliver an acceptable level of fuel economy. Aerodynamic drag, cooling flow through the engine compartment, thermal management in general are key elements to be considered. Styling studios often need guidance so that their design is not only attractive but also aerodynamic. Customer demands for more comfort like low cabin noises, driving stability and safety often means additional weight. Again, not to increase the entire weight of the car this additional weight either has to be compensated in other components or systems or additional fuel consumption resulting from more weight has to be compensated by further aerodynamic measures.

The vehicle development process is highly complex. Various problems are to be solved in even shorter development cycles. This requires a high demand on simulation techniques by computation or testing. Thus, developing and implementing new simulation techniques which reproduce numerous real-world effects more efficient is mandatory.

To get latest information about new car development in general, new or improved testing techniques and calculation procedures, the FKFS-Conference is the ideal location. Furthermore, it is an ideal forum to meet leading experts from industry, universities and other institutions, to exchange ideas and discuss new ones. In addition, demonstrations will show the state of the art in measurement technology applied live in FKFS Wind Tunnels and Laboratories. An exhibition at the conference location will show newest development tools.

Combination of search terms

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.

Brackets

You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).

Phrases

Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.

Selection criteria

You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).

If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
