Modelling of cyclist aerodynamics and heat and moisture transfer for optimal performance and clothing KU Leuven
Aerodynamic resistance is a core focus in cycling as it is responsible for about 90% of the total resistance at speeds larger than 40 km/h on flat terrain. The aerodynamic performance of both wheels is a critical factor in the overall cycling performance, as the wheels can be responsible for up to about 10% of the total cyclist-bicycle drag, and races can be decided by very small time differences. Past research on cycling wheel aerodynamics ...
