Aerodynamics

CFD Simulations and Design
Examples of aerodynamic design 
Aero Not aero
Why consider aerodynamics? 
Functional benefits 
● reduced drag 
● improved handling 
● improved brake cooling 
Business benefits 
● better marketing story 
● more OEM wins 
● unified design language 
○ reduced tooling costs 
○ reduced part count 
● create unique products
What do we do? 
● Use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to 
simulate external airflow over an object 
○ Bike, brake, wheel, handlebars, fork, etc. 
● Give advice and guidance on aerodynamic 
design 
○ Is your design aero? We can make it so. 
● Provide aerodynamic designs 
○ Do you need a new aero product? We can design it.
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) 
What is CFD? 
● in aerodynamics, CFD delivers visual and 
numerical analysis of airflow around the 
object 
● Unlike wind tunnel studies, CFD allows 
visualization of airflow and makes rational 
aerodynamic design possible
CFD versus wind tunnel 
CFD 
● visualization of airflow 
● used for design and 
development 
● results not dependant on 
external conditions 
● in Velocite’s case, results also 
not dependant on problem or 
operator 
● good for marketing in the bicycle 
industry 
● more expensive 
Wind tunnel 
● used for verification of 
assumptions or design, not for 
development 
● results depend on operator, 
experiment setup, day to day 
conditions, wind tunnel setup 
● faster results 
● great for marketing in bicycle 
industry 
● cheaper (as used by the bicycle 
industry)
Who uses CFD? 
Since the 1970’s everyone in aerospace 
industry relies on CFD for primary design and 
development
Velocite CFD versus others 
Velocite 
● Lattice-Boltzmann with 
LES turbulence model 
● transient flow 
simulations 
Complex, computationally 
much more demanding. 
Not possible to run on a 
workstation. 
Other 
● Navier-Stokes with K-ε 
→ DES models 
● generally steady state 
simulations 
Much simpler and 
computationally less 
demanding. Workstation 
level.
Examples 
Lattice-Boltzmann LES, transient. 
Velocite standard 
Navier-Stokes K-ε, steady state. 
Industry standard
Example Airflow detail: front brake location 
Rotating wheel simulation: 42 km/h @ 12 degrees angle of attack. 132 million 
cells, 20 thousand time steps. 
Front view Rear view
Example Airflow detail: short conclusion 
● Layer of air adheres to the surface of the wheel and has direction vector 
that follows the rotational vector of the wheel 
● Bulk airflow vector is aligned with the apparent wind direction 
● High air pressure is observed on the front faces of the fork - this is 
especially significant at yaw 
Conclusion: brake shape and mounting location 
or integration impacts the overall bicycle 
aerodynamics
More examples: Velocite YouTube channel 
● Three spoke wheel simulation 
○ http://youtu.be/Qb9VkYOdCBw 
● Airflow around water bottles: 
○ http://youtu.be/g08s7hR70ok 
● Velocite RT50 wheels 
○ http://youtu.be/mGGm1gEJd8U 
● Ahmed body validation example 
○ http://youtu.be/2I0t5FHKHYc
How accurate or reliable is our CFD? 
● We use custom made software developed for Velocite by a team of 
scientists at The University of Geneva, Switzerland 
● Velocite CFD expertise was developed through our past and current work 
with: 
○ Acer Computers 
○ NARL NCHC (National Center for High Performance Computing) 
division 
○ NCKU (National Cheng Kung University) in Tainan
Advantages of Velocite method 
● Much higher resolution 
○ allows better design decisions 
● More realistic results 
○ not idealized, nothing is hidden or smoothed over 
● Correctly simulates downstream airflow 
○ can determine how design changes impact the rest 
of the bicycle 
● Can use actual physical 3D model 
○ no separate meshing or preparation step
How can our service benefit you? 
We can help you design your new world 
class aero product 
If you already have a product, but no data we 
can help you validate your design 
We can make the all-important CFD 
simulation images, videos and data 
Design 
Validation 
Marketing
Velocite CFD offer 
● Simulate 3D airflow around any number of parts, 
including rotating wheels, or cranks 
○ variable airspeed, variable angle of attack, variable rotational, or 
periodic velocity, as required 
○ Simulation runs on our in-house compute cluster in Taiwan 
● Provide detailed aerodynamics analysis and design 
recommendations, numerical data, images and videos 
as required 
● Competitive pricing that can suit any design and 
development budget
