With increasing train speeds the subsequent increase in slipstream velocities can have a
detrimental effect on the safety of persons in close proximity to the vehicle. Due to their …

When a train moves through the air, a region of air moves along with it at approximately the
same speed: this region of air is known as the 'slipstream'. Numerical simulations were …

The concept of autonomous road vehicles has recently gained a great deal of technical
respectability. Expected advantages over normal driver-controlled vehicles are through …

The high-speed railway has become an important passenger transport mode. Relying on the
abundant passenger transport experience and expansive railway network, the high-speed …

Increases in the volume of trade within the UK rail freight industry have led to proposed
increases in freight train speeds. There is a concern that the unsteady slipstream created …

The use of double-unit trains is becoming a common means of increasing passenger
capacity for a rail network. However, their expanded usage may create additional …

Train Aerodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications is the first reference to provide a
comprehensive overview of train aerodynamics with full scale data results. With the most up …

A novel full-scale field test was undertaken to assess the aerodynamic performance of
shipping containers loaded on inter-modal freight trains. The aerodynamic performance of …

In recent years, the concept of autonomous road vehicles has gained a great deal of
technical respectability, with expected fuel benefits arising from running vehicles closely in …

For the first time, this research enables a systematic parametric analysis of oat lodging to be
undertaken. A generalised lodging model combining agronomy, biology and wind …
