“…The results presented in the following sections are the mean of at least two consecutive runs sampled over 30 s. As indicated above, it has been shown that the drag of a cyclist varies with leg position around the crank cycle. 2628 This variation is also seen in the oscillating drag force during dynamic tests. For this reason, it is necessary to sample over-sufficiently many cycles, such that the mean is effectively independent of the leg start and end positions.…”

“…In addition to the similar frontal area, this may be the result of disruption in the flow between the arms that normally flows under the torso and out over the hips and between the legs. 24–26…”

“…Using wind tunnel observation, characterisation of the variation of the flow with static crank angle has been reported in [9] and [10]. The approach taken was to manufacture a posable mannequin based on a generic cyclist.…”

“…The current paper has three aims: (i) to build upon earlier wind-tunnel based work in our group [9] and further characterize the variation of the flow with crank angle, (ii) to compare flow behaviour observed experimentally with CFD results, in order to assess the current capability to numerically model cyclist aerodynamics, and (iii) to build a foundation from which the more challenging problem of a dynamic, pedalling cyclist CFD model can be developed.…”
