Integration of Crosswind Forces into Train Dynamic Modelling

Last updated on 22 August 2014 3:05

In this paper a new method is used to calculate unsteady wind loadings acting on a railway vehicle. The method takes input data from wind tunnel testing or from computational fluid dynamics simulations (one example of each is presented in this article), for aerodynamic force and moment coefficients and combines...
