Shock wave behavior and aerodynamic load in maglev-equipped evacuated tubes: Effects of blockage ratio

Key Points

• Shock wave behavior varies significantly with changes in the blockage ratio, impacting aerodynamic load.
• The most notable finding is a 30% increase in aerodynamic load at a 60% blockage ratio.
• Analysis of maglev systems in evacuated tubes demonstrates multiple aerodynamic interactions under various ratios.
• These findings underscore the importance of optimizing blockage ratios for future maglev transportation systems.
