Numerical investigation of shock-vehicle interaction and shock attenuation inside closed tube with applications in vacuum transport systems.

The data corresponds to CFD simulations and post-processing analyses performed for a vehicle moving inside a closed tube. The vehicle speeds considered are 100 m/s, 150 m/s, 200 m/s, and 250 m/s. The blockage ratios considered are 0.36, 0.49, 0.64, and 0.81. The simulation results are discussed in detail in the paper titled "Modeling of aerodynamic phenomena and drag for vehicles moving through a low-pressure tube in Hyperloop systems," published in Physics of Fluids (DOI: 10.1063/5.0261092). In addition, the dataset includes simulation results related to: Shock-wave and vehicle interactions Shock attenuation due to tube wall features Drag on a vehicle with a perforated tail Mechanical simulations of vehicle stress and displacement due to shock–vehicle interactions These datasets are part of research funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation under the SPARK project (grant number: CRSK-2_2211982). The simulations were conducted using STAR-CCM+ and ANSYS Fluent. Post-processing was performed using MATLAB. Details of the contents of each zipped file are provided in the file DataDescription.xlsx. The authors’ manuscript version of the paper (Published_AM_Rajdeep.pdf) is also included in the dataset.
