Some milestones in the development of NAMI works on aerodynamics and rolling resistance of vehicles and road trains
Abstract
Introduction. Regardless of kind of engine, air and rolling resistance are the main types of resistance to the movement of vehicles. This type of resistance power of the vehicles with internal combustion engines (ICE) is more than 2700 GW, which exceeds the power of power units. This type of entire Russian park capacity resistance is about 90 GW and it is comparable to the capacity of the country's power units. The article is a brief overview of NAMI works concerning the resistance to the movement of automotive transport vehicles (ATV).
The purpose of the study was to improve the existing research methods and means and standardize the relevant properties and parameters of ATV and ultimately to reduce the catastrophic thermal and toxic emissions and the burnout of the oxygen.
Methodology and research methods were based on a wide range of theoretical fundamental and applied science research as well as on many years of experience of the Institute in this area.
The results stemmed from the scientifically developed and patented products made in NAMI which underlie methods, instruments, bench equipment, the Russian and international standards for tyre testing methods.
The practical significance has resulted in making proposals for the development of the tyre sub-sector strategy and includes measures for strengthening the parameters environmental control when providing the country's tyre fleet with imported and domestic products.
