About this document
Aerodynamic Research for High-Speed Trains by MarcoFranchinotti is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes research on aerodynamics and aeroacoustics for modern high-speed trains. It discusses three main areas of optimization: 1) Reduced energy consumption through lower aerodynamic drag, 2) Lower noise emission through optimized train shaping and pantograph design, and 3) Improved interaction with infrastructure and weather. Recent European projects have studied adding bogie fairings to reduce drag by over 10% and noise by 3 decibels. Future trains may reach speeds of 350 km/h, requiring
