In this work numerical investigations of regional trains were carried out studying the prediction accuracy of the aerodynamic load in cross-wind assessment of rail vehicles. The main focus is on 30° yaw angle. Two domain setups, one representing the wind tunnel setup and another more generic one, were investigated and validated against available measurements comparing load coefficients. Important aspects of a guideline assessing aerodynamic load coefficients with numerical simulation techniques are proposed. Based on practical considerations and on the presented results the use of a generic domain is suggested for virtual certification. Further improvement of the flow field prediction can be achieved using unsteady hybrid numerical techniques, such as detached eddy simulation. Load coefficient results of various unsteady approaches and comparisons of simulated and measured flow fields are shown. Hints about the usage of the employed hybrid method are given, and future investigations are proposed.
