PROBLEMS ARISING FROM THE RUNNING OF TRAIN TRAFFIC AT VERY HIGH-SPEED TRAINS IN TUNNELS. THEORETICAL PREDICTION METHODS FOR CALCULATING UNSTEADY FLOWS IN RAILWAY TUNNELS

This report gives the background to the development of methods for predicting unsteady flows in railway tunnels. In this report, a choice is made among five flow models of various complexities and of more or less practical application, in order to compare theory with the results of experiments carried out by the railway in tunnels and to make relevant recommendations.
