Coastal Protection Against Extreme Swells
With the increasing global warming, extreme marine phenomena such as waves and storms could become more frequent and intense. The water level also rises and this is of major importance on the phenomenon of submersion. This sets a major challenge to the protection of coastal areas, where infrastructure must be designed to withstand increasingly harsh […]
Optimization of Modern Drone Performance
Technological innovation continues to grow, drones are taking an increasingly important place in our world. The global market will grow tenfold in 10 years, from $28 billion in 2021 to $260 billion in 2030. All industrial sectors are involved, from oversight missions to delivery logistics, from area mapping to military missions. Modern drones offer efficient […]
Developing the aerodynamics of motorcycles
The benefits of aerodynamics on motorcycles Aerodynamics is a very important science to understand the influence of air forces on the behaviour of any motorcycles and its rider. By applying the basic principles of aerodynamics to motorcycles, it is possible to achieve significant improvements in terms of performance and comfort. Drag reduction, for example, is […]
Improving the helmet aerodynamics
The perfectibility of the helmet aerodynamics Mitigating the inconvenience of air turbulence around helmets is a major challenge in helmet aerodynamics for bikers and high-speed users such as skiers, professional cyclists, and single-seater drivers. Indeed, these disadvantages, materialized by areas of detachment and recirculation of air on the surface of the helmet, cause discomfort, instability, and noise, […]
Protection against tsunamis : Assessing anti-tsunami structures with CFD
Hydrodynamic simulation of anti-tsunami structures Protection against tsunamis has always been important, but it is becoming an increasingly common topic given the growing population and land density of all coastal regions around the world. We know that these natural disasters can, through the effect of flooding and submersion, cause massive destruction and loss of life, […]
Optimizing the energy autonomy of the drones
Aerodynamics and energy management of aerial drones Optimizing the energy autonomy of the drones is a crucial issue for both civilian missions and military operations. The ability of a drone to travel long distances without recharging or refueling can determine whether a mission is successful or not. However, improving the energy consumption of drones and […]
