Tunnel aerodynamics of the Munich levitation high-speed link

The demand for fast,secure and environmentally friendly travelling prompts a need for the planning and construction of high-speed rail tunnels.However,tunnels for high speed traffic may lead to adverse aerodynamic effects for the passengers,the rolling stock and the tunnels,including their equipment.By choosing adequate civil measures,the unfavourable aerodynamicconditions in a tinnel can be reduced.Taking the concept design of the magnetic levitation (MAGLEV) link in Munich as an example,the various aerodynamic implications of high -speed traffic in tunnels and underground stations are illustrated.(A)
