Hyperloop pod first try

About this project

Hyperloop is high speed at very low pressure. This shows a 1.85m dia pod in a 2.6m tube, with a 2:1 tube/pod area ratio. There is increase in air velocity thru the narrow throat. The objective is to find the drag at speeds up to 200m/s and pressure 100 Pa (1/1000 atm). Maybe too ambitious for SimScale due to the transonic flow in the throat.
