Wind tunnel study of coal dust release from train wagons

Abstract

The paper presents a wind tunnel study to assess the coal dust released due to aeolian erosion from wagons equipped with two different shelter cover systems. A 1:25 scale model was used, and it comprises one locomotive and four train wagons with a 3.55 m maximum length. Several tests were conducted for different train configurations, and two initial load levels, with an undisturbed flow velocity of 13.4 m/s.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/B6V3M-4C7DFX4-2/1/7e5214aa39411c25551eb15955a969a
