Overview
Objectives:
The goal of the present project of industrial research is the development of an efficient and validated methodology of drag reduction of automobile vehicles (up to 10%) using integrated MMEMS synthetic microjets (MMEMS: Micro-Magneto-Electro-Mechanical-Systems). The aim is the reduction of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions.
This project concerns a finalised research for industrial needs leading to a notable improvement of existing vehicles or performances of the future vehicles with important outputs in terms of production, company creation, societal and environmental impacts.
Methodology:
The program will be split into two converging axis:
- Numerical calibration and experimental work using MMEMS SJ on a generic automobile geometry at reduced scales and representative of a scale 1 vehicle in terms of flow.
- The development of innovative solutions to support the array of such integrated micro-actuators directly on a real vehicle and the evaluation of obtained gains on a scale 1 vehicle in aerodynamic, aero acoustic, and climatic wind tunnels.
