- ÍtemAnálisis del arrastre aerodinámico de un casco de ciclismo competitivo mediante simulación numérica usando el software OpenFOAM®Herrera Quilaguy, Diego Alexis; Vaca Ríos, John JairoThis work comes from an investigation carried out by the RMIT University (Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University) named “Aerodynamics of ribbed bicycle racing helmets"; where they made an aerodynamic study of competitive cycling helmets, that possess dimples, smooth and ribbed surfaces; this in order to understand the aerodynamic performance of each one of them. This type of investigation was carried out in a closed circuit wind tunnel in the RMIT, through a wide range of wind speeds, pitch and yawing angles. Therefore, the aim of this work is to study the Giro Air Attack helmet and make a comparison of results obtained by a numerical computational simulation Vs experimental information taken from the guide article. It has been made an analysis by Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), using a design represented by Computer Aided Design (CAD) obtained by the collaboration with “Tecnoparque SENA, Nodo Bogotá", where was developed a 3D scanning of the Giro Air Attack helmet of the same reference of the experimental study. Was used a software CFD called OpenFOAM for bring the simulation off and prove that the mathematics and turbulence models used have obtained approximate information and in this way determine the performance of the selected model.
