| Wind-flow pattern over embankments involves an overexposure of the rolling stock travelling on them to wind loads.Windbreaks are a common solution for changing the flow characteristic in order to decrease unwanted effects induced by the presence of crosswind.The shelter effectiveness of a set of windbreaks placed over a railway twin-track embankment is experimentally analysed. A set of two-dimensional wind tunnel tests are undertaken and results corresponding to pressure tap measurements over a section of a typical high-speed train are herein presented. The results indicate that even small-height windbreaks provide sheltering effects to the vehicles. Also, eaves located at the windbreak tips seem to improve their sheltering effect. | |
