Approximate method of calculation of air resistance of trains in tunnels (TM-AERO-29)

Last updated on 31 March 2014 12:32
The Memorandum presents a method of calculation of air resistance in tunnels, under quasi-steady conditions, and with simplifying assumptions. Values of friction coefficients for tunnels and trains are given. The results of a series of calculations of air resistance are given, covering a wide range of variables, from which...
