Summary
This paper presents the present status of unsteady simulations in train aerodynamics.
The approaches range from large-eddy simulation, hybrid RANS-LES in the
form of detached-eddy simulations and partially-averaged Navier-Stokes to unsteady
Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes. Use of a hybrid technique called partially-averaged
Navier-Stokes is discussed. Applications of different techniques are illustrated with
examples from predictions of flows around generic train vehicles. Numerical prediction
of crosswind stability and flow control of train-like vehicles is discussed.
