This paper is the second part of a two-part paper that presents a wide-ranging review of train
aerodynamics. Part 1 presented a detailed description of the flow field around the train and …

This paper considers aspects of the aerodynamic behaviour of high speed trains. It does not
specifically address the many aerodynamic problems associated with such vehicles, but …

This paper describes an investigation of the effect of cross winds on train dynamic systems. It
considers the nature of the fluctuating cross wind and how such cross winds produce …

This paper presents a review of recent research that has been carried out on the cross-wind
effects on road and rail vehicles. After a brief introduction to the issues involved, the risk …

Currently, there are three different methodologies for evaluating the aerodynamics of trains;
full-scale measurements, physical modeling using wind-tunnel, and moving train rigs and …

The experimental errors of the buffeting force caused by the scale effect become more
significant when the reproduced turbulence scale is not very large in comparison with the …

The turbulent flow past a simplified Intercity-Express 3 high-speed train at R e H= 6× 10 4 is
investigated by a combination of wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations using …

The aim of the present study consists of evaluating the influence of the most relevant
geometric, mechanical and aerodynamic vehicle properties in the risk of derailment caused …

High winds have a number of different effects on the design and operation of trains, the most
important being the need to design trains that will not blow over in high winds. The current …

The sensitivity of heavy road vehicle aerodynamic coefficients to different testing parameters
(scenario, vehicle type and turbulence intensity) is experimentally evaluated in this paper …
