The influence of anomalous Doppler waves on the Hyperloop stability

This abstract has open access
Summary
The Hyperloop, a developing transportation system, reduces air resistance by housing the vehicle within a depressurized tube and eliminates contact friction through an electro-magnetic suspension/levitation system. Maintaining system stability poses a challenge due to the exceptionally high target velocities. The interplay between electro-magnetic and wave-induced instability has been previously studied by the authors, showing that stability domains drastically change above a certain vehicle velocity. The current study demonstrates that the anomalous Doppler waves (i.e., wave-induced instability) are causing this drastic change. This investigation offers physical insight into the mechanisms that can cause instability in the Hyperloop system.
