Numerical investigation of the aerodynamic characteristics of high-speed trains of different lengths under crosswind with or without windbreaks

The focus of this study was the influence of the length of a train on its aerodynamic performance, with and without wind break walls, under a crosswind. The improvement in the train’s aerodynamic performance due to a wind break wall was also analyzed. Aerodynamic coefficients such as the drag force...
