Leading Motorsport Team Races to Get Car Design Right the First Time (PDF)
Next to Mario Andretti, there is, perhaps, no more recognizable name in American motorsports than Roger Penske - racing and winning in the U.S. since 1958. After 45 years of racing, Team Penske embarked on a new and exciting challenge. With 115 Indy car wins, including a record 12 Indy 500 victories, Team Penske entered the Indy Racing League (IRL) on a full time basis. This meant competing with different equipment on 15 different tracks.

Numerical Simulation of Turbulent Flows in Centrifugal Compressor Stages with Different Radial Gaps (PDF)
Numerical simulation of three-dimensional flow in a onestage centrifugal compressor with a diffuser of variable geometry has been performed using the ANSYS CFX 10 code. The computations were conducted using steady and unsteady flow formulations and employing the RANS two-equation turbulence models. Steady-state flow simulations in the compressor were done for two vaned diffuser geometries with different radial gaps.
