EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF THE AERODYNAMICS OF TRAINS RUNNING AT HIGH SPEEDS

ETUDES EXPERIMENTALES SUR L'AERODYNAMIQUE DES TRAINS CIRCULANT A GRANDE VITESSE

This account, written on the occasion of the 14th Congress on Applied Aerodynamics held in Toulouse on the 7th, 8th and 9th November 1977 by the Aeronautical and Space Association of France, describes experiments carried out with the aim of solving aerodynamic problems arising from the running of high-speed trains. The experiments concerned running of a single train, passing of 2 trains, the wind effect in the environment and running of trains in tunnels.
