The impact of aerodynamics on fuel consumption in railway applications
The main consequence of on air flow surrounding a moving train resides in the aerodynamic drag and a certain pressure distribution on the frontal and lateral surfaces of the vehicle. The actual value of the aerodynamic drag (if pre-determined) may lead to a more accurate design of the whole locomoti...
