    Professor Bert Blocken, head of Heriot-Watt University’s aerospace programme, School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, has a knack for discovering competitive advantages in athletic competitions. In the past, he, along with other researchers, used CFD to reveal how a cyclist's position in a peloton could affect his or her chances of winning.
