Understanding the Aerodynamic Benefits of Drafting in the Wake of Cyclists

A new approach is presented to characterize the aerodynamic benefit from riding in the wake of another cyclist at different downstream locations. The method presented uses the dynamic pressure deficit in the wake of a cycling mannequin to estimate percentage drag savings. In the experiments, the tim...
