Who Leaked Specialized's Wind Tunnel Data?

In the win tunnel, 50km/h winds are more than half it’s top speed. At tunnels used for testing f1 cars and airplanes, 50km/h is barely above idle, and about the minimum speed those facilities. But is having its own wind tunnel a significant competitive advantage for a bike company, or is specialized just blowing a lot of hot air? May 17, 2013 · at this tunnel’s launch engineer chris yu laid out specialized’s approach, that computational fluid dynamics (cfd) acts as a virtual wind tunnel test via a numerical. Jun 1, 2023 · while most wind tunnels are built to cater to the automotive, aerospace, or architectural industries, specialized dreamt this facility up to be the perfect testing ground for.

We did two data collection runs at 0. Aug 23, 2023 · kidding aside, when you encounter stories about pros going into the wind tunnel, the goal is to optimize equipment choices and position for the greatest possible gains. Nov 14, 2024 · after two days of tests, zwift’s team took all the data back to the office so they could crunch numbers and compare zwift’s current frame performance to the wind tunnel data. Aerodynamics are so important on a bike in fact, that specialized has now invested a huge amount of time and money in creating their own bicycle specific wind tunnel.
