Train aerodynamics : fundamentals and applications
Contributor(s): Baker, Chris | Johnson, Terry | Flynn, Dominic | Hemida, Hassan.
Publisher: Oxford Elsevier 2019Description: xxv, 375p.ISBN: 9780128133101.Subject(s): Railroad trains -- AerodynamicsDDC classification: 625.2 | T682 Summary: Train Aerodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications is the first reference to provide a comprehensive overview of train aerodynamics with full scale data results. With the most up-to-date information on recent advances and the possibilities of improvement in railway facilities, this book will benefit railway engineers, train operators, train manufacturers, infrastructure managers and researchers of train aerodynamics. As the subject of train aerodynamics has evolved slowly over the last few decades with train speeds gradually increasing, and as a result of increasing interest in new train types and high-speed lines, this book provides a timely resource on the topic. Examines the fundamentals and the state-of-the-art of train aerodynamics, beginning with experimental, numerical and analytical tools, and then thoroughly discussing the specific approaches in other sections Features the latest developments and progress in computational aerodynamics and experimental facilities Addresses problems relating to train aerodynamics, from the dimensioning of railway structures and trains, to risk analysis related to safety issues and maintenance Discusses basic flow patterns caused by bridges and embankments.Browsing PK Kelkar Library, IIT Kanpur Shelves , Collection code: Lost Close shelf browser
