\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eTrain Aerodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications \u003c/i\u003eis the first reference to provide a comprehensive overview of train aerodynamics with full scale data results. With the most up-to-date information on recent advances and the possibilities of improvement in railway facilities, this book will benefit railway engineers, train operators, train manufacturers, infrastructure managers and researchers of train aerodynamics. As the subject of train aerodynamics has evolved slowly over the last few decades with train speeds gradually increasing, and as a result of increasing interest in new train types and high-speed lines, this book provides a timely resource on the topic.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamines the fundamentals and the state-of-the-art of train aerodynamics, beginning with experimental, numerical and analytical tools, and then thoroughly discussing the specific approaches in other sections\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFeatures the latest developments and progress in computational aerodynamics and experimental facilities\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAddresses problems relating to train aerodynamics, from the dimensioning of railway structures and trains, to risk analysis related to safety issues and maintenance\u003c/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscusses basic flow patterns caused by bridges and embankments\u003c/li\u003e\u003c/ul\u003e |
