Surface pressure and velocity flow field data have been measured in a tornado simulator for a constant aspect ratio and for two different swirl ratios. An investigation h [...]

In the planning process for high rise buildings, it is common practice to carry out physical or numerical simulations of the wind flow around such buildings, in order to [...]

This paper presents the results of an investigation into the physical mechanisms (hydrodynamic and aerodynamic) that are important when trains run through flood water. Un [...]

In the operation of high-speed trains, ballast stones on the track bed sporadically lift off which damages the underside of trains, trackside barriers and rail heads. Thi [...]

Rainfall on station railway platforms is potentially hazardous to passengers because it increases the risk of slips and trips. Canopies provide shelter for passengers and [...]
