Better understanding of high speed train slipstream velocities

Last updated on 11 October 2013 2:59
Platform height affects the train boundary layer, and hence the structure of the train slipstream and wake around trains. High platforms reduce the train slipstream air speeds very significantly compared with low platforms. The average reduction was 30% for an ICE 2 model passing a UK height platform compared with...
