In the last years we have tacitly included in our volumes contributions with multidisciplinary character. Since some years the vast growth of computer performance is acting as a pacemaker for the development of numerical methods in multidisciplinary design, where numerical fluid mechanics is a deciding factor. We are now opening the series fully to this topic. To emphasise this we are extending its title to Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design (NNFM). We are confident that the opening of the series towards multidisciplinary design will serve the needs of our readers and contributors. The Series Editors Springer-Verlag Preface This volume entitled "TRANSAERO - A European Initiative on Transient Aerodynamics for Railway System Optimisation" contains the results of the contributors during the project symposium which took place in Paris, France, on 4th and 5th May 1999 hosted by the International Union of Railways, UIC. This symposium was organised within the framework of the BRITE/EURAM project "TRANSAERO" under contract BRPR-CT9S-0067. The project has been co-financed by the European Union within the Fourth Research Framework Programme. More than 100 participants followed the invitation to the symposium. This great response shows the continuing interest in a relevant topic of railway technology and offered us the opportunity to present the recent results of intense European collaboration to the international community of railway aerodynamic experts. In the last few decades, mobility in Europe, based on automobiles for individual traffic and lorries for freight traffic, has grown more and more; yearly growth rates of more than 10% have often been reported by statistics. Even with a fully developed construction programme for motorways and similar high-performance roads, these growth rates cumulated over the years cannot easily be handled in an environment-friendly way. The European Commission has therefore given distinct political signals to get more passengers onto the railways. This policy represents a clear challenge for the next few decades for European railway companies: the considerable increase in mobility in a Europe with falling borders will cause a doubling of the traffic volume within the next 10 to 20 years. Since an efficient trans-European transportation network is indispensable to handle the mobility increase and the road network has reached its socio-ecological limits, the railway network will be strengthened. As part of it, an attractive high-speed network plays a key role in the strengthening concept. Of course, the high standard of safety has to be kept while interoperability across the former national borders, which are now changing into technical interfaces between different railway sub-networks, has to be ensured. The TRANSAERO-Project is the first project within the Community research framework of the European Union where the European railway undertakings operating high-speed lines with maximum speeds over 200 km/h joined their forces and budgets to investigate aerodynamic effects of increasing importance for a modern railway system. The acronym TRANSAERO stands for "Transient Aerodynamics for Railway System Optimisation". It bundles the expertise of three railway companies and eight universities and research institutions in Europe to make a major step in progress of the physical understanding and the technical development of the time-dependent effects of side-wind forces, trains passing and pressure waves in tunnels. All of these questions simultaneously involve high-speed rolling stock, infrastructure and operating conditions, which is typical for the systemic approach that should govern most of the today's railway questions. Since efficient and economically satisfying solutions to transient aerodynamic problems cannot be found on one single component of the system alone, they need to be studied by considering the entire railway system with its interdependencies. We would like to express our particular thanks to Dr. D. Knorzer of the European Commission DG Research for his constant technical interest and fruitful discussions during the 31f2-year contract period. We wish to express our gratitude to the UIC in Paris -especially to Mr W. Breitling for his offer to open the UIC headquarters and the conference room "Friedrich List" there as probably the most aptly named location for a railway-engineering symposium to take place and for his backing in the preparation phase. We thank Mrs. V. Priou of UIC for her encouraging support both prior to and during the symposium. We also thank all the TRANSAERO partners for contributing to the impassioned debates and scientific discussions in the course of the project and for providing the contributions for this volume. In addition to this, many personal relationships were set up among the partners. The editors would also like to express their sincere thanks to Mrs B. Eckl of DB AG for her encouraging co-ordinating support of TRANSAERO from the preparation to the mid-term phase. The editors are grateful to Prof. Dr. E.H. Hirschel as the general editor of the "Notes on Numerical Fluid Mechanics and Multidisciplinary Design" and also to the staff of the Springer Verlag for the opportunity to publish the results of the TRANSAERO project in this series. We look forward to this volume being used as a "state-of-the-art" reference by scientists and engineers involved in solving aerodynamical problems related to railway traffic in the years to come.
