Fluid flow around bluff bodies occurs in numerous fields of science and engineering, such as flows pass vehicles, cables, towers and ladies pants bridges.These flows have been studied experimentally and numerically for the last several decades.The investigation of flow around high-speed trains is an important application of bluff bodies.Fluid flow, aerodynamic forces and moments, separation and wake region have been studied for the last several decades.This paper brings together a comprehensive review of the research on air flow around high-speed plaque trains and their impacts.
