Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The application of various infrastructure components is essential for the operation of high-speed railways due to a variety of constraints ranging from the environmental to the technical. In the transition region between different infrastructures, the pressure field and aerodynamic loads of high-speed trains change rapidly under strong crosswind conditions as the aerodynamic environment switches. High-speed trains are vulnerable to safety risks from transient aerodynamic impacts, and the stability of trackside structures in the area can also be threatened.
In recent years, the predictive ability of new experimental and numerical simulation techniques in aerodynamics has been widely recognized, producing valuable results. This upcoming Special Issue of the journal Applied Sciences, entitled “New Insights into Train Aerodynamics”, aims to collect novel contributions covering a wide range of research topics in train aerodynamics. Our topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Train–tunnel aerodynamics.
- Wind field measurements along high-speed railways.
- Optimization of aerodynamic buffer structures.
- Aerodynamic performance of trains passing through various barriers.
- Experimental and numerical methods for train aerodynamics.
- Dynamic response and driving safety of high-speed trains under crosswinds.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
