Aeroacoustics Simulations around Automobile Rear-View Mirrors

Serious paediatric head trauma caused by vehicle rear view mirrors.

Boundary element and finite element coupling for aeroacoustics simulations

We consider the scattering of acoustic perturbations in a presence of a flow. We suppose that the space can be split into a zone where the flow is uniform and a zone where the flow is potential. In the first zone, we apply a Prandtl–Glauert transformation to recover the Helmholtz equation. The well-known setting of boundary element method for the Helmholtz equation is available. In the second z...

Experimental study of statistical and spectral characteristics of wake flow around the rear view side mirror of a passenger car

In order to study the turbulent structure of wake flow around the rear view side mirror of a passenger car, moment property and energy spectra in the mirror wake and fluctuating pressure distribution on the mirror surface have been measured by several experimental tools in an open circuit wind tunnel at the Reynolds number of 2 × 105. It was found that time-averaged streamwise velocity very nea...

Genetic parameters and evaluation of rear legs (rear view) for Brown Swiss and Guernseys.

Genetic parameters were estimated for rear legs (rear view; RLRV) and 15 current linear type traits of Brown Swiss and Guernsey dairy cattle. The Brown Swiss Cattle Breeders' Association of the USA and the American Guernsey Association began scoring RLRV in 2004. For Brown Swiss, 8,502 records were available for 7,676 cows in 417 herds; Guernsey data included 5,437 records for 4,749 cows in 229...

Yuya ABE Katsunori OKAJIMA Study on installation requirements about display on electronic in-car mirror and improvement of depth feel. In recent years, electronic in-car mirrors are paid attention to by automobile industry. It has a lot of benefit in safety, but on the other hand it has some problems. This study aims to clarify visibility of display on electronic rear-view mirrors and to improv...
