Field and computational methods for estimating aerodynamic drag

Alphamantis技术公司是蒙特利尔的一家体育技术公司，目前正处于部署专有的“便携式风洞”系统的初期阶段，该系统依赖于自行车安装的传感器和算法。 该公司需要在户外环境中工作的帮助，进行与1）静态风传感器及其在物体移动时的行为有关的实验，以及2）公司开发的各种新旧计算策略的比较。在这个多因素实验中，我们将传感器安装在卡车和自行车上，并比较传感器和解决阻力和滚动阻力的方法。 我们将收集现场数据，并应用公司提供的计算方法。 这些实验不仅有助于满足公司的即时研究需求，还将形成有用的遗留数据集，这些数据集将由Alphamantis拥有，并可用于为进一步的开发提供信息。

Alphamantis Technologies is a Montreal sports technology company in the beginning stages of the deployment of a proprietary "Portable Wind Tunnel" system that relies on bicycle-mounted sensors, and algorithms. The company needs help working in outdoor environments, conducting experiments related to 1) static wind sensors and how they behave when objects are moving, and 2) comparison of various new and old computational strategies in development by the company. In this multi-factorial experiment we mount sensors on a truck and a bicycle, and compare sensors and approaches for solving drag and rolling resistance. We will collect field data, and apply computational approaches provided by the company. These experiments will not only help address immediate company research needs, but will form useful legacy datasets what will be owned by Alphamantis and which can be used to inform further development.
