The calculation of train air resistance in tunnels : a programming guide and brief parametric study (IM-AERO-050)

Last updated on 06 September 2013 9:39
It is a well known fact that the air resistance of a train increases very rapidly when entering a tunnel. The necessity of knowing this increase in drag is important since it directly affects the propulsive power required. The solution of equations for the coefficient of drag is rather laborious...
