3.4
exceptional load

infrequent load which represents the extremal load or combination of loads for the relevant operation

conditions, including both steady and transient load

Note 1 to entry: Exceptional load is also described with the terms “static load”, “static design load” or “proof load”.

[SOURCE: EN 17149-1:— , 3.1.9; modified – “including both steady and transient load” added]

3.5
fatigue load

frequent load or combination of loads which represents the normal relevant operation conditions

[SOURCE: EN 17149-1:— , 3.1.11]
3.6
steady load
load that is constant or nearly constant with time

Note 1 to entry: These loads include the dynamic pressure due to the airflow acceleration around the front of the

train and pressure changes caused by strong side winds.
3.7
transient load
load that varies in time
Note 1 to entry: Transient loads can be divided into three kinds:

a) loads caused by trains crossing with other trains in the open air or due to the pressure field around the

train;

b) loads caused by trains travelling alone or crossing with other trains in tunnels;

c) loads that arise due to the turbulent nature of the flow around trains.

Note 2 to entry: Loads a) and b) are relevant for all train structures, but loads c) may be only relevant for some

high speed train components and are not considered in this document.
3.8
tunnel

excavation or a construction around the track provided to allow the railway to pass through, for example,

higher land, buildings or water
3.9
tunnel length

length of a tunnel is defined as the length of the fully enclosed section, measured centrally at rail level

3.10
tunnel cross-sectional area

free cross-sectional area of a tunnel not including ballast, rail, sleepers, longitudinal piping, platform

European foreword

This document (prEN 14067-5:2020) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 256 “Railway

Applications”, the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This document is currently submitted to the CEN Enquiry.
This document will supersede EN 14067 5:2006+A1:2010.
EN 14067 Railway applications — Aerodynamics consists of the following parts:
— Part 1: Symbols and units;
— Part 3: Aerodynamics in tunnels;
— Part 4: Requirements and test procedures for aerodynamics on open track;
— Part 5: Requirements and test procedures for aerodynamics in tunnels;
— Part 6: Requirements and test procedures for cross wind assessment.

The results of the EU-funded research project “AeroTRAIN” (Grant Agreement No. 233985) have been

used.

The contents of the previous edition of EN 14067-5 have been integrated in this document; they have

been re-structured and extended to support the Technical Specifications for the Interoperability of the

Trans-European rail system. Requirements on conformity assessment for rolling stock were added.

This document has been prepared under a mandate given to CEN by the European Commission and the

European Free Trade Association, and supports essential requirements of EU Directive 2016/797/EU.

For relationship with EU Directive 2016/797/EU, see informative Annex ZA, which is an integral part of

this document.

1 Scope

This document establishes aerodynamic requirements, test procedures, assessment methods and

acceptance criteria for operating rolling stock in tunnels. Aerodynamic pressure variations, loads, micro

pressure wave generation and further aerodynamic aspects to be expected in tunnel operation are

addressed in this document. Requirements for the aerodynamic design of rolling stock and tunnels of

the heavy rail system are provided. The requirements apply to heavy rail systems only.

— IEC Electropedia: available at http://www.electropedia.org/
3.1
compression wave

approximate step change in pressure above ambient that travels at the speed of sound

3.2
expansion wave

approximate step change in pressure below ambient that travels at the speed of sound

3.3

numerical methods of approximating and solving the formulae of fluid dynamics
3.4

3.5
fatigue loads

very large number of dynamic and aerodynamic loads of varying magnitude that the structures of rail

vehicle bodies or infrastructure components are subjected to during their operational life

3.6
static loads
loads that are constant or nearly constant with time

Note 1 to entry: These loads include the dynamic pressure due to the airflow acceleration around the front of

the train and pressure changes caused by strong side winds.
3.7
transient loads
loads that vary in time
Note 1 to entry: Transient loads can be divided into three kinds:

a) loads caused by trains crossing with other trains in the open air or due to the pressure field around the

train;

b) loads caused by trains travelling alone or crossing with other trains in tunnels;

c) loads that arise due to the turbulent nature of the flow around trains.

Note 2 to entry: Loads a) and b) are relevant for all train structures, but loads c) may be only relevant for some

high speed train components and are not considered in this standard.
3.8
tunnel

excavation or a construction around the track provided to allow the railway to pass through, for

example, higher land, buildings or water
3.9
tunnel length

length of a tunnel is defined as the length of the fully enclosed section, measured centrally at rail level

3.10
tunnel cross-sectional area (for blockage ratio)

free cross-sectional area of a tunnel not including ballast, rail, sleepers, longitudinal piping, platform

3.11
vehicle cross-sectional area (for blockage ratio)
projected cross-sectional area in lengthwise direction of vehicle
3.12
critical crossing
crossing of two trains in a tunnel leading to maximum pressure changes

Note 1 to entry: The terms crossing and passing are used interchangeably in this standard.

3.13
gauge pressure

amount by which the pressure measured in a fluid, such as air, exceeds that of the atmosphere
