In this paperZhou, D. the aerodynamic forces and momentsTian, H.-q on a high-speed train in a cross wind were obtainedThompson, M. both numericallySheridan, J. and experimentally. The train was positioned at the top of a 2 m high embankment. Experimental data was obtained using the Monash wind tunnel for a 1:20 scale model. These measurements were made over a range of yaw angles spanning \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$0^{\circ }$$\end{document}–\documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$90^{\circ }$$\end{document}. The numerical computations were performed using the commercial code FLUENT. These computations focused on the structure of the flow field around the high-speed train at different yaw angles. The model was discretized using a hybrid grid, with a total cell count of \documentclass[12pt]{minimal} \usepackage{amsmath} \usepackage{wasysym} \usepackage{amsfonts} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsbsy} \usepackage{mathrsfs} \usepackage{upgreek} \setlength{\oddsidemargin}{-69pt} \begin{document}$$1.02 \times 10^{7}$$\end{document}. The predictions show a good match for the calculated aerodynamic force and moment coefficients with experimental measurements. Aerodynamic forces were determined for two cases: with the train on either the windward or the leeward track on top of the embankment. The side force is found to be greater for the leeward case, while the lift force for the leeward case is less than that for the windward case.
