The influence of the nose shape of high speed trains on the aerodynamic coefficients

Last updated on 27 September 2013 3:25

Increasing velocity combined with decreasing mass of the leading vehicle of modern high speed trains poses the question of the influence of strong side winds on the vehicle dynamics. Deutsche Bahn has undertaken experiments in an automobile wind tunnel at 1:10 scale. 14 different nose shapes were investigated, and all...
