A compression wave generated when a high-speed train emerges from the exit portal of a tunnel, causes an impulsive noise called micro-pressure wave. There are various countermeasures to reduce the micro-pressure wave, the most e!ective one being the proper design of the nose shape of the train. In t

An analysis is made of the compression wave generated when a high speed train enters a tunnel. Operations in the near future are expected to be at Mach numbers M ranging in value up to 0โข4. Non-linear steepening of the wave in a very long tunnel exacerbates the environmental damage caused by the sub
A practical analytical scheme is proposed for making rapid numerical predictions of the compression wave generated when a high-speed train enters a tunnel fitted with a vented entrance hood. The method synthesises results from several analytical procedures developed during the past few years for tre
A numerical procedure for the rapid prediction of the compression wave generated by a high-speed train entering a tunnel was presented and validated by Howe et al.

When a high speed train enters into a tunnel, the aerodynamic forces severely change and, consequently, the stability and performance significantly deviate from the value of design point which is usually set at cruising speed on the plain ground. The compression wave is also generated ahead of the t
