CFD Improves Olympic Bobsled Performance
Posted Tue February 23, 2010 @10:01AM
Print version Email story Tweet story
Application The US Bobsled Team has been working with the Exa Corporation to study how air travels around bobsleds, and how that airflow could be improved to speed up their races.

Based on these models, the scientists came up with a new aerodynamic bobsled design to give the team an edge on the ice in Vancouver.
