Aerodynamic tests in the Hauenstein tunnel - determination of empirical coefficients (TM-AERO-056)

Last updated on 07 June 2013 2:45
This report demonstrates by way of selected examples how train surface friction factors, train end pressure loss coefficients and the tunnel friction factor are deduced from the Hauenstein Tunnel test results. The tunnel friction factor is derived from the velocity decay characteristic of Run 7 and specimen train empirical coefficients...
