Development of an experimental method to estimate aerodynamic forces acting on a train in a tornado

Last updated on 01 June 2016 3:21
A novel experimental approach to estimate aerodynamic forces acting on a train travelling through a tornado has been developed. Our experimental system consists of a tornado simulator and a moving model rig. The tornado simulator generates a tornado-like swirling flow. The moving model rig allows a model train to run...
