WHEEL/RAIL RESEARCH--RESISTANCE AND COMFORT IN TUNNELS

RAD/SCHIENE--FORSCHUNG, WIDERSTAND UND KOMFORT IM TUNNEL

This research concerns the aerodynamic effects of running trains at high speeds in tunnels. Effects vary according to train length, couplers, speeds and the tunnel cross-section. Constructive recommendations can be put forward on the basis of these findings.
