Based on 3D steady and incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and standard k-ε turbulent model, numerical calculation for the aerodynamic properties of EMU (Electric Multiple Units) CRH3 (China Railway High-Speed 3)running in crosswind were carried out by finite volume method. Aerodynamic performances of EMU CRH3 were analyzed and compared, when the EMU was running in different speed and under the crosswinds of different velocity. The research showed that with the change of speed of train and crosswind, the surface pressure and aerodynamic forces altered according to a certain rule. Compared with the drag, the change of lift and lateral force caused by the increase of crosswind were more serious. When the speed of train was constant of 200km/h, 250km/h and 300km/h, the drag of train increased by 26.7%, 20.4% and 19.8% respectively as the speed of crosswind increased from 12.5m/s to 30m/s, the lift of train increased by 340.7%, 331.7% and 337.1% respectively, and the lateral force of train increases by 296.3%, 266.0% and 150.2% respectively. As the speed of crosswind increases, the increase of drag caused by the acceleration of train is more serious than lift and lateral force.
