Additional information
This was the first comprehensive analysis of train slipstream behaviour using full scale data from a much greater range of sources than used by previous investigators. In the novel use of the technique of ensemble averaging, major developments in analytical techniques and scientific understanding were achieved. This technique is now the default approach with which to analyse train aerodynamic behaviour, and the ensemble analysis approach has underpinned the development of UK and European codes of practice, and the development of aerodynamic aspects of the Rolling Stock Technical Standards for Interoperability (TSI).
