Abstract
Because of reducing aerodynamic drag, the maglev train could run at a high-speed in the partial vacuum tube. Scientists of some conutries such as U.S., Swiss and China, have started the research work on high-speed tube trains. In this situation, evacuated tube transportation aerodynamics becomes an important theory research aspect, in which the main study content is how to calculate aerodynamic drag. Based on the explicit formula for estimating aerodynamic drag on moving body in an infinite boundary surroundings put up by Isaac Newton, the evacuated tube surroundings is analyzed and the explicit formula with blockage ratio as an independent variable for estimating aerodynamic drag acted on trains running in the evacuated tube which is a finite space is deduced. With the calculation case, compared with the results came out from the explicit formula got in this paper and the results got by Fluent software, it was found that those results are closed. Thus, the explicit formula created in this paper for conveniently estimating aerodynamic drag based on trains running in evacuated tube transportation is credible.
