The Hillman Avenger is a small family car, originally engineered and manufactured by the Rootes Group in the UK and marketed globally from 1970 to 1978. It is a five-passenger car with two- or four-door saloon and five-door estate body styles and a front-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. As a completely new design, the Avenger was a conventional, straightforward and economical design – the saloon distinguished by its four-doors, chair-height seating, four-link coil rear suspension and unique, J-shaped or "hockey stick" taillights. The project was conceived in 1963; Design Director Roy Axe received his styling brief in 1965; and engineering began in 1966. The Avenger became one of the first a…

The Car of Tomorrow (CoT) was the common name used for the chassis of the NASCAR Cup Series (2007 – 2012) and Xfinity Series (since 2011 full-time) race cars. The car was part of a five-year project to create a safer vehicle following several deaths in competition, particularly the crash at the 2001 Daytona 500 that killed Dale Earnhardt. Used as the fifth generation car style for the Cup Series, the original Car of Tomorrow body design was larger and boxier than the design it replaced, and criticized for its generic appearance and poor handling characteristics. The CoT, however, implemented dramatic safety improvements, cost less to maintain, and was intended to make for closer competition…

Fire modeling in a compartment railway passenger car. In this paper numerical modeling of fire development in a single compartment of a railway passenger car has been performed using the FDS software. The simulation was focused on the dynamic calculation of temperature field and heat release rate. Obtained simulation results were compared with experimental results and satisfactory agreement was detected. It can be concluded that FDS can be used for simulating different fire scenarios in railway passenger cars.
