Monoposto racecar wheel aerodynamics: investigation of near-wake structure and support-sting interference
No full textMonoposto racecar development is routinely carried out using wheels supported not by the car
suspension but by individual, externally-mounted stings. The interference effect of these stings
was acknowledged but unquantified in the existing literature. Appraisal of the literature has
found that the structure of a wheel wake was not understood, rendering it difficult to assess the
support sting interference. These two issues were thus jointly addressed using experimental and
computational methods.
The two phases of this project each tested a different industrially-representative racecar wheel
model. Phase One investigated a single wheel and sting combination, whilst Phase Two extended
the work to include two further stings and a model racecar. Non-intrusive velocity measurements
were made in the near wakes of the various combinations to extract vertical planes, perpendicular
to the tunnel freestream.
The measurements made behind the isolated wheels were used to investigate the main flow
features of the wake. The flow surrounding an unsupported wheel was established computationally
and used to evaluate the interference effects of the support sting. Different wheel support
methods (three stings and the car suspension) were used to provide further insight into the sting
interference effects and also the impact of sting design on those effects. Testing with and without
the model racecar allowed evaluation of its effect on the wheel wake and sting interference.
The main characteristics of the near-wake of an isolated wheel rotating in ground contact are
proposed from analysis of the data generated in this study. A simplified model of the trailingvortex
system induced in the wake of such a wheel is proposed to clarify contradictory literature.
The specific interference effects of a wheel support sting are proposed with reference to the main
characteristics of the wake. The mechanisms behind these effects are, where possible, identified
and presented. The main impact of the support sting, and thus the root of several of the observed
effects, is the modification of the axial flow through the wheel.
The main effects of the presence of the car on the near-wake are proposed alongside the observation
that the wake structure is not fundamentally different to that of an isolated wheel. The
proposed sting interference effects are also observed in the presence of the car, albeit at a reduced
level

Kevin Fenton: A Reading
No full textThe John S. Lucas Great River Reading Series (GRRS) hosts Winona native and author Kevin Fenton. Fenton will read from his new novel Cyan Magenta Yellow Black published by Black Lawrence Press, 2025.
Kevin Fenton is the author of Merit Badges, which won the AWP Prize for the Novel and the Friends of the American Writers Award, and Leaving Rollingstone, which Patricia Hampl called “the most important memoir to come out of the Midwest (or anywhere) in years.” He works as an advertising writer and creative director; in that capacity, he’s published essays in the design quarterlies Émigré and Eye (London), the anthology Looking Closer 2: Critical Writing On Graphic Design, and the UX design blog Boxes and Arrows. He got a slightly better education than he deserved at Beloit College, the University of Minnesota Law School, and the University of Minnesota MFA program. He lives in St Paul with his wife Ellen and his greyhound Evie
'Web of Life' - Profile of Kevin Petrie in Printmaking Today Winter 2024
No full textKevin Petrie, Professor of Creative Practice at the University of Sunderland, uses print to explore the novels and philosophy of Iris Murdoch writes Dr Miles Leeson. This is a 1200 word profile of Kevin Petrie and his recent work for 'Printmaking Today' which is the journal of the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers. The piece gives an overview of Petrie's creative practice focusing on the novels and thinking of Dame Iris Murdoch (1919-1999). The piece discusses Petrie's evolving model of creative practice for this project: reading the novels, sketching to visualise elements, developing and combining images in the studio and then reengagement with Murdoch (through the community, literature and archive). Petrie's 'Other Journeys' and 'Web of Life' exhibitions are discussed.
The author, Dr Miles Leeson, is the Director of the Iris Murdoch Research Centre at University of Chichester and Visiting Research Fellow at Kingston University. He is the lead editor of the Iris Murdoch Review, the Series Editor of ‘Iris Murdoch Today’ with Palgrave Macmillan, and has published widely on Murdoch’s work. He published Iris Murdoch: Philosophical Novelist (Continuum) in 2010, the edited collection Incest in Contemporary Literature (Manchester University Press, 2018), the festschrift Iris Murdoch: A Centenary Celebration (Sabrestorm Fiction, 2019), the edited collection Iris Murdoch and the Literary Imagination (Palgrave Macmillan, 2022) and is currently writing Iris Murdoch: Feminist.
