METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE AERODYNAMIC RESISTANCE OF A CYCLIST

A method for determining the aerodynamic resistance of an object or a person having its own movement, remarkable in that it includes at least the following steps: acquiring, between two moments tinit and tfin 3D clouds of dots corresponding to the spatial position of various points positioned at dif...

Zusammenfassung:A method for determining the aerodynamic resistance of an object or a person having its own movement, remarkable in that it includes at least the following steps: acquiring, between two moments tinit and tfin 3D clouds of dots corresponding to the spatial position of various points positioned at different locations of the object or the person; determining 3D models as a function of time, for each moment between tinit and tfin, from dots of the clouds of dots acquired at each moment between the moments tinit and tfin; simulating the movement of the solids described by the clouds of dots corresponding to the object with a person in a fluid, for each moment between the moments tinit and tfin; and calculating the average of the aerodynamic resistance forces exerted on the object or person between the moments tinit and tfin.
