players need a suitable array of tracks to keep the pedal to the floor and keep you coming back for more.Forzadelivers with a variety of oval, drag, street, point-to-point and even a few licensed tracks to challenge players’ skills behind the wheel. Road Atlanta, Silverstone, Laguna Seca...
The final shock wave, when it comes, is weaker and less drastic in its effect of blasting the boundary layer behind it. Such blasting causes high drag and may be disruptive enough to lead to gross loss of lift. Effects of this kind, coupled with loss of stability and control, once led...
This means that in a race situation, W’ can recover after an initial drop. By hiding in the peloton and drafting behind other riders, your W’ can accumulate sufficiently to mount a blistering attack, of precisely known power and duration. The chart above, generated inGolden Cheetah, shows ...
This can be achieved by tripping the boundary layer into turbulence at a lower Reynolds number, thereby causing the fluid to move further with the surface behind the body resulting in narrower wake and considerably reduced pressure drag. Thus, the drag force is much smaller for rough-surfaced ...
A really interesting, very detailed look at all the physics behind bikes, including aerodynamics, tire resistance, brakes, steering, balance, and the materials from which the components need to be made to resist the forces they experience. The Ultimate Bicycle Book by Richard Ballantine and ...
Back behind the garage stall with their centrifuges, microscopes and computers, constantly examining and testing fuel and lubricant samples that are taken from the McLaren MP428. In the short term, they are looking for the tiniest indications of potential issues. Impurities in the samples, especial...
Professor Blocken’s team has performed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations showing the likely spread of micro-droplets behind people moving at different speeds. As the cloud of particles, produced when someone coughs or sneezes, is swept into the slipstream, the heavier droplets, shown ...
but I’m climbing well and the slope is falling behind me at a steady rate. With around about 6km to go, everything changes. I go for another gear, but that’s it, I’m out. The “click of doom”. 34/28 is the lowest gear I have fitted and that’s where I’ll stay for ...
RESEARCHERS have long known that city dwellers are at greater risk of mental health problems than their country cousins. But the biology behind this was not known until now. Results of an international study have shown for the first time how two regions of the brain responsible for regulating ...
be. Behind the glass is nothing now but empty space. No door, no window, no vent, no way through or round but to feel the rain of a thousand shards fall to the ground. I try not to howl or jump when I am cut, for cuts heal. And love lives like this: patching ...
