Please help me for this project - How to find out the rate of wind caused by a moving object such as a train?

Question

Can anybody tell me how to find out the rate of wind or wind speed caused by a moving train? Please help me.

Answer 1

Is this an investigation?  If so, two things occur to me:

1)  Set up an anemometer by a train track and record what it sees.

2)  Stick an anemometer (or an airspeed detector, such as is used on airplanes) out the side of a train and compare the results with the speed of the train.

If it's a research project, the best response I could find is here:

You'll probably need to head to a library to read it, though.  It's a subscription site.

If you need further information, you might google "train slipstream".
