Wind Tunnel Analysis of the Aerodynamic Loads on Rolling Stock over Railway Embankments: The Effect of Shelter Windbreaks

Figure 12

Lift, , side force, , and rolling moment, , coefficient ratios as a function of the windbreak height, when the train coach is placed on the leeward rail on the embankment with slope 1 : 2. Four eave lengths are considered,  mm (circles),  mm (rhombi),  mm (squares), and  mm (triangles). Each column represents a different coach rolling angle, (left), (centre), and (right).
