PRELIMINARY STEADY-STATE SUBWAY AERODYNAMIC ANALYSIS (INCOMPRESSIBLE)

The report contains the formulation of several analytical models assuming incompressible flow which can be used for developing an understanding of the aerodynamic characteristics of various tube-vehicle systems. These analytical models are used to guide the experimental program, reduce, and analyze the data. (Author)
