HIGH-SPEED TRAIN SIMULATION USING HYDRODYNAMICS

The motion of two high-speed trains passing one another while moving in opposite directions is simulated using inviscid hydrodynamics. The method of images is used to generate the cylinders which represent the trains. The forces acting on the cylinders are determined by an integration of the unsteady Bernoulli equation.
