On modelling bicycle power for velodromes: Part II Formulation for individual pursuits

We model the instantaneous power on a velodrome--as applied to individual pursuits and other individual time trials--taking into account its straights, circular arcs, and connecting transition curves. The forces opposing the motion are air resistance, rolling resistance, lateral friction and drivetr...

Zusammenfassung:We model the instantaneous power on a velodrome--as applied to individual pursuits and other individual time trials--taking into account its straights, circular arcs, and connecting transition curves. The forces opposing the motion are air resistance, rolling resistance, lateral friction and drivetrain resistance. We examine the constant-cadence and constant-power cases, and discuss their results, including an examination of an empirical adequacy of the model. We also examine changes in the kinetic and potential energy.
