Research on the Train Surface Pressure Characteristics in Passing through Tunnels at Speeds of 400 km/h and above by HU Yingcan, DU Jian, CAI Junshuang, HU Chong, LU Yibin

“…［Result & Conclusion］ When the train running speed is 400 km/h and the tunnel length is 0.7 km, the maximum positive pressure value, the maximum pressure amplitude, and the maximum negative pressure value on the train surface all reach their peak values. When the tunnel length exceeds 0.7 km, the maximum positive pressure value basically does not change with the increase of tunnel length, while the maximum negative pressure value and the maximum pressure amplitude gradually decrease as the tunnel length increases. …”
