A Study of Crosswind Effect on Bike’s Aerodynamic

Abstract

This paper presents a review of recent research that has been carried out on the crosswind effects on a
bike. Air resistance plays an important role in a bike. And its performance can change according to its
different shapes and its size. Bike aerodynamic friction drag, pressure drag, etc. have been extensively
studied with the primary purpose of reducing drag and improving performance, ease of ride, and
handling. Aerodynamic plays a big role in bike design and aesthetics for stability when it is in motion.
Here, we use computer model analysis and simulation to inspect and analyse the effects of crosswind
on aerodynamics of bike. Using two different types of bikes for analysis of crosswind effect and
simulation shows the effect of crosswind in bikes’ aerodynamic and how it will affect its safety issues
in each bike.
