Abstract
The paper presents data of investigations into the air movement in thr ee new train stations in Germany. Sophisticated energy concepts have b een worked out for these stations which make in-depth flow studies nec essary. The wind- and train-induced air movement inside the stations w as investigated. Means to control the air movement and in particular t o prevent excessive air infiltration into the train stations were prop osed and will be discussed in this paper. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Lt d.
