Parallel Computation of High-Speed Train Aerodynamics

High-speed trains will have a possible maximum speed of 500km/h, ~Mach 0.4. Side branches in a tunnel are commonly used to reduce the pressure gradient of a compression wave generated at the inlet as a train rushes into the tunnel. This project demonstrates a parallelized 3D compressible Euler solver for high-speed train aerodynamic simulations.
