A study on the aerodynamic drag reduction of trains

Last updated on 11 October 2013 3:36

As a train runs at higher speed, the ratio of aerodynamic drag to running resistance becomes larger and the aerodynamic drag reduction also becomes more important for saving energy. In this research, we perform wind tunnel tests to estimate the reduced quantity of the aerodynamic drag of trains for improved...
