Establishing a unique, world-class facility at UOIT: Aerodynamic climatic moving ground plane wind tunnel enhancement
EF 2013-14
Résumé
Canada has an opportunity to take a global leadership role in research and development for the automotive andtransportation-related industry. The opportunity has arisen to add to the existing capability of the AutomotiveCentre of Excellence (ACE) through the addition of a moving ground plane. This enhancement wouldtransform ACE into an aerodynamic climatic moving ground plane (rolling road) wind tunnel, creating the onlytesting resource of its kind in the world. The ACE Moving Ground Plane Workshop that is planned to be heldat UOIT in Oshawa, June 10th-11th, 2013, will bring together key stakeholders representing relevant Canadianand selected US expertise from academia and industry. The thrust is to identify new research partnershipopportunities, potential new research and development projects, and develop the framework for a fundingproposal to Automotive Partnership Canada and other granting agencies to support research, training of HQP,and the acquisition and integration of the moving ground plane into ACE. The proposed project will, mostimportantly, enable the cutting-edge research that Canadian scientists and engineers and their industry partnerscould conduct in such a facility.
