Abstract Given the influence of air intake from inclined shafts in existing tunnel ventilation systems on train comfort and aerodynamic safety, a numerical analysis method is used to study the comfort and aerodynamic safety of operating trains under three conditions—inclined shaft closed and inclined shaft open without and with air intake—and to explore the variation law of transient pressure and aerodynamic force (lift coefficient, transverse force coefficient, and overturning moment coefficient). Combined with practical engineering and requirements, the influence of inclined shaft air intake on train operation comfort and aerodynamic safety is analyzed. Through this research, the influence of using air intake from the inclined shaft of an existing tunnel, a ventilation scheme of the new Wushaoling Tunnel, on the comfort and aerodynamic force of trains is revealed, and the comfort and aerodynamic safety of trains in an actual project are evaluated, verifying the rationality of the ventilation scheme of the Wushaoling Tunnel.
