Abstract
In order to investigate runnning effects of aerodynamic characteristics of a railway vehicle under strong cross winds, we perfomed LES of flow around a simple train model. Numerical results show the slightly difference in the side forces between the running train and the stationary train due to flow separation on the head of the train.
