Although the improvement of well-being is often an implicitly-assumed goal of many, if not most, public policies, the study of subjective well-being (SWB) and travel has so far been confined to a relatively small segment of the travel behavior community. Accordingly, one main purpose of this paper is to introduce a larger share of the community to some fundamental SWB-related concepts and their application in transportation research, with the goal of attracting others to this rewarding area of study. At the same time, however, I also hope to offer some useful reflections to those already working in this field. After discussing some basic issues of terminology and measurement of SWB, I present from the literature four conceptual models relating travel and subjective well-being. Following one of those models, I review five ways in which travel can influence well-being. I conclude by examining some challenges associated with assessing the impacts of travel on well-being, as well as challenges associated with applying what we learn to policy.

This article presents a study on the accuracy of the numerical determination of the friction and pressure resistance coefficients
of ship hulls. The investigation was carried out for the KVLCC2 tanker at model- and full-scale Reynolds numbers. Gravity
waves were neglected, i.e., we adopted the so-called double-model flow. Single-block grids with H–O topology were adopted
for all the calculations. Three eddy viscosity models were employed: the one-equation eddy viscosity and the two-equation
L $$" align="middle" border="0"> models proposed by Menter and the TNT version of the two-equation k-ω model. Verification exercises were performed in sets of nearly geometrically similar grids with different densities in the
streamwise, normal, and girthwise directions. The friction and pressure resistance coefficients were calculated for different
levels of the iterative error and for computational domains of different size. The results show that on the level of grid
refinement used, it is possible to calculate the viscous resistance coefficients in H–O grids that do not match the ship contour
with a numerical uncertainty of less than 1%. The differences between the predictions of different turbulence models were
larger than the numerical uncertainty; however, these differences tended to decrease with increases in the Reynolds number.
The pressure resistance was remarkably sensitive to domain size and far-field boundary conditions. Either a large domain or
the application of a viscous–inviscid interaction procedure is needed for reliable results.
