Summary

When a Shinkansen passes through a tunnel, the pressure changes due to the pressure wave in the tunnel penetrate the cars. This gives rise to aural discomfort in passengers. In this paper, a new ventilation system for alleviating this aural discomfort is described. A method of numerical simulation of the pressure change outside and inside the train is also presented.
