In this study, the aerodynamics characteristics of HST type CRH380A which is planned to be operated on the new railway of Jakarta-Bandung are analysed using Computational Fluid Dynamics. The speed of the train in this simulation was varied from 100 km/h to a maximum designed speed of 350 km/h with the increment of 30 km/h. The train was modelled in 3D computational domain with more than 1.7 million cells. The turbulence model employed in this study was standard k-ω. The simulation results show that the drag coefficient (CD) is slightly decrease by the increase of speed. At the speed of 100 km/h the CD is 0.216 and decrease to 0.188 at the speed of 350 km/h. The high pressure area is located at the nose of the train. The pressure acting on this location is increase with the increase of the train speed.
