Abstract
An impulsive pressure wave emitted from a tunnel portal, called a micro-pressure wave, is one of the important wayside environmental problems in high-speed railways. A tunnel hood with openings on its side wall installed at the portal of the train entrance side is the principal countermeasure for reducing the micro-pressure wave. However, the micro-pressure wave tends to have large peak value around openings of the hood when the micro-pressure wave is emitted from the tunnel exit portal with the hood. In this study, we carried out the model experiment focused on the effects of the tunnel hood with openings installed at the portal of the train exit side. In addition, we developed a simple theoretical model simulated the micro-pressure wave around openings of the hood.
