- Additional information
- This work, sponsored by the EPSRC grant EP/D080207/1, is the first to measure a range of aerodynamic phenomena observed in real train operations, and to compare how such effects match model-scale measurements and various types of CFD calculations. This work contains benchmarking calculations and corrects some of the EU procedures for wind-tunnel testing of small-scale train models. The output of this work has been adapted by the railway industry, used by SNC-Lavalin to deliver a new design for Hong Kong metro trains (https://www.snclavalin.com/en/media/press-releases/2017/03-07-2017). It also led to a long-term collaboration with two Chinese universities: Central South and Lanzhou.
