“…In this equation, P T corresponds to the total pressure value. As a result of equation (5), it has been found that the pressure rises at a rate that is proportional to that of the increase in total pressure provided that the Mach number is held constant. As a result, under regime 3, P ex grows in proportion to the increase in speed of the pods.…”

The Hyperloop system is a new and innovative mode of transportation in which high-speed pods move through near-vacuum tubes. The multi-pod Hyperloop Systems are essential for increased transportation capacity. In this study, a multi-pod Hyperloop System was analyzed using numerical simulations at different values of the distance between the pods (i.e., 2 L–3.5 L). The pressure and velocity flow fields and the aerodynamic characteristics of the pods were analyzed for four different flow speeds, that is, 100, 200, 300, and 400 m/s, using unsteady compressible flow conditions. The simulation results indicated that the pressure waves generated across the pods play a significant role in the determination of the aerodynamic characteristics of the pods. Increasing the distance between the pods results in the delay of the pressure wave interaction. The aerodynamic drag increases on the first pod with the increase in the distance between the pods due to an increase in the pressure gradient. In contrast, the aerodynamic drag decreases across the second pod with the increase in the distance between them. So, the distance between the pods is a critical factor that should be considered when designing the Hyperloop System with more than one pod.

“…Hyperloop is an evacuated tube maglev train (ETMT) technology suggested by Elon Musk in response to recent technological developments and the growing need for affordable transportation. [2][3][4][5] Passengers would be transported in a maglev pod via a near-vacuum tunnel (1/ 1000 atm.) at transonic speeds.…”
