Aerodynamic Characteristics of Train/Vehicles under Cross Winds
TL;DR: In this article, three kinds of wind tunnel tests were made to evaluate the aerodynamic characteristics of typical configurations of the vehicles on typical configuration of infrastructures such as bridges and embankments.
Journal ArticleDOI
A CFD analysis of the aerodynamics of a high-speed train passing through a windbreak transition under crosswind
TL;DR: In areas with strong wind, windbreaks are built along railways to reduce the impact of wind on trains as discussed by the authors, but because of the restrictions imposed by actual terrain, windbreak structures are often...

Assessment of train running safety on bridges: A literature review
P.A. Montenegro,Hermes Carvalho,Diogo Ribeiro,Rui Calçada,M. Tokunaga,M. Tanabe,Wanming Zhai +6 more
TL;DR: This paper aims to present a comprehensive literature review of the problematic associated with the train running safety assessment on bridges and gives a brief description of the available train-bridge interaction models needed to explicitly assess the traffic stability.
Journal ArticleDOI
A comparative study on the running safety of trains subjected to crosswinds simulated with different wind models
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a study on the train stability against crosswinds simulated with different wind models, focusing on the evaluation of derailment indexes, which are dependent on the wheel-rail contact forces obtained through dynamic analyses performed with a vehicle-structure interaction methodology.

Ground vehicles in high cross winds part II: Unsteady aerodynamic forces
TL;DR: In this paper, the steady aerodynamic forces and moments on ground vehicles in high cross winds were considered and the effects of wind-induced effects were described and predicted using aerodynamic force and moment data.
Journal ArticleDOI
The simulation of unsteady aerodynamic cross wind forces on trains
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of cross wind on train dynamic systems is investigated and a simple method for calculating the wind time history at the position of a moving vehicle is presented, that is computationally much less expensive than existing methods.
