Effect of Braking Plates on the Aerodynamic Behaviors of a High-Speed Train Subjected to Crosswinds

Using aerodynamic resistance to provide braking force for trains is an economical braking method. It has few components to wear out and requires no energy. But the aerodynamic braking plate will significantly affect train’s aerodynamics behaviors. This paper studies the effect of the braking plates’...
