CFD Study of High-Speed Train in Crosswinds for Large Yaw Angles with RANS-Based Turbulence Models including GEKO Tuning Approach

Crosswind action on a train poses a risk of vehicle overturning or derailment. To assess if new train designs fulfill the safety requirements, computational fluid dynamics is commonly used. This article presents a comprehensive wind flow analysis on an example of a TGV high-speed train. Large yaw an...
