abstract
Computer Fluid Dynamics (CFD) has been used by sports
scientists aiming to improve the athlete’s performance in
sprinting events. In wheelchair sprinting velocity can reach
7m/s. Sports garment such helmets may reduce
aerodynamic drag by 10%. The aim of this study was to
compare the friction and pressure drag between a road and
time trial helmet.
