Wind tunnel tests on train resistance - simulation of ground surface: effects of oblique winds (IM-APT-132)

Last updated on 09 December 2013 3:39
Air resistance of trains, which forms the major part of the total resistance at all but low speeds, has been measured both by full-scale and wind tunnel tests. Earlier full-scale tests gave considerable difficulties in the separation of air resistance from mechanical resistance, and attention was generally transferred to wind...
