All aboard! 🚂 Did you know the railway industry was among the first to realize the importance of aerodynamics and drag? In the 1930s, iconic “Streamliner” locomotives such as the American Pioneer Zephyr, British Mallard and German Flying Hamburger reached speeds well over 100 mph thanks mainly to their sleek designs, which reduced drag. Aerodynamics is crucial in developing rail vehicles – drag significantly impacts energy efficiency and fuel consumption even at lower speeds. Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation allows engineers to design trains to minimize air resistance and to analyze aerodynamics long before wind tunnel testing. http://go.3ds.com/EYe
