Vehicle Aerodynamics and Aeroacoustics at the FKFS-Academy

Know-how in Theory, Measuring Technique and Testing

The course is designed to provide a detailed understanding of vehicle aerodynamics and vehicle aeroacoustics. The participants will be trained to be able to carry out respective development work at car manufacturers and suppliers under consideration of the various interfaces to other disciplines.

Target Group
This course is targeted to professionals who work or who are interested in the area of vehicle aerodynamics and aeroacoustics. The professionals can be technicians or engineers who either are newcomers or who simply wish to learn more about these topics. The course focuses on the fundamentals of aerodynamics and aeroacoustics covering ongoing measurement techniques as well as computational approaches and optimization strategies. The various facets of the course content are presented as both, theoretical lectures and practical training especially in wind tunnels.

Objective 1:
Understand basic aerodynamic physics and relationships; apply fundamental aerodynamic equations on standard flow situations; assess aerodynamic coefficients and aerodynamic results; influences on vehicle drag and lift as well as vehicle dynamics

Objective 2:
Understand the principal acoustic and aeroacoustic physics; choose the adequate measurement instrumentation and setup; acquire expertise to assess aeroacoustic analyses and results

Objective 3:
Understand the approaches when implementing computational methods in aerodynamics and aeroacoustics; being able to assess the possible field of application and the advantages and disadvantages concerning the various numerical methods realistically

Objective 4:
Learn to conduct aerodynamic and aeroacoustic investigations under experimental conditions in our modern wind tunnel facilities (full-scale aeroacoustic and scale-model wind tunnel as well as briefly thermal wind tunnel) as well as to evaluate the measured data

Goals
After having completed this course, the participants will have a fundamental knowledge about vehicle aerodynamics and aeroacoustics. They will be able to use high-tech aerodynamic and aeroacoustic measurement technique and will be able to carry out wind tunnel tests, both in order to effectively perform aerodynamic and aeroacoustic development work at cars under consideration of the interfaces to other disciplines.

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).
