Drag determination by means of submerged moving model testing

Last updated on 06 March 2020 12:24

The aerodynamic drag is one of the main factors regarding the energy demand of trains. However, an accurate determination of the aerodynamic forces acting on trains is still challenging. In order to provide a suitable testing facility for drag determination, a moving model towing tank setup has been developed. This...
