This review highlights me differences between me aerodynamics or high-speed
trains and other types of transportation vehicles. The emphasis is on mode
rn, high-speed trains, including magnetic levitation (Maglev) trains. Some
of the key differences are derived from the fact that trains operate near t
he ground or a track, have much greater length-to-diameter ratios than othe
r vehicles, pass close to each other and to trackside structures, are more
subject to crosswinds, and operate in tunnels with entry and exit events. T
he coverage includes experimental techniques and results and analytical and
numerical methods, concentrating on the most recent information available.
