Abstract(E)The aerodynamic characteristics of the evacuated tube transportation system were investigated based on the Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes k-w shear-stress transport simulation model in this study. Comparing the two tube train systems with different blockage ratios, i.e., 0.09 and 0.25, the impact of the isentropic limit and Kantrowitz limit on the aerodynamics was explored. Three distinct flow structures were found, which correspond to three speed ranges divided by the critical Mach number of the two limits. The drag of a tube train shows different aerodynamic features under the three speed ranges.

How to use the search box

You can enter up to 5 search conditions. The number of search boxes can be increased or decreased with the "+" and "-" buttons on the right.
If you enter multiple words separated by spaces in one search box, the data that "contains all" of the entered words will be searched (AND search).
Example) X (space) Y → "X and Y (including)"

How to use "AND" and "OR" pull-down

If "AND" is specified, the "contains both" data of the phrase entered in the previous and next search boxes will be searched. If you specify "OR", the data that "contains" any of the words entered in the search boxes before and after is searched.
Example) X AND Y → "X and Y (including)"  X OR Z → "X or Z (including)"
If AND and OR searches are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) X AND Y OR Z → X AND (Y OR Z)
If AND search and multiple OR search are mixed, OR search has priority.
Example) W AND X OR Y OR Z → W AND (X OR Y OR Z)

How to use the search filters

Use the "search filters" when you want to narrow down the search results, such as when there are too many search results. If you check each item, the search results will be narrowed down to only the data that includes that item.
The number in "()" after each item is the number of data that includes that item.
