AERODYNAMIC DRAG OF TRAINS

Aerodynamic drag of trains on the new Tokaido line was measured by means of the new practical method which was proposed in the previous report by one of the authors. All the drag coefficients ever obtained by authors, i.e. those mentioned above and those measured previously on the lines with narrow gauge, are shown collectively. The sum of the aerodynamic drag of the train on the new Tokaido line and their mechanical resistance is compared with the total running resistance measured by Nishiola. They agree well.
