The method of calculating the aerodynamic flows and pressure transients described in the first paper was used to make predictions for the Channel Tunnel. Results for single trains and for two-way working are shown. Some of the important parameters of the tunnels and trains were varied to show the effects of such changes so that the design could be checked and refined from the aerodynamic standpoint.
