About this document
Aero Dynamic Cross Wind Analysis of Locomotive by Carlos Fenoll is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper presents a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis of aerodynamic cross wind effects on locomotives, specifically focusing on the WAP5 model. The study compares stationary and active models to assess the impact of relative motion between locomotives and infrastructure on aerodynamic coefficients, revealing that stationary tests may underestimate aerodynamic forces. Results indicate minor differences in pressure distribution and coefficients, suggesting that the relative motion is crucial for
