Abstract: The aerodynamic drag of luge athletes during gliding is an important factor in improving the performance of the luge competition. Based on the wind tunnel test results of 10 athletes of the National Luge Team, the aerodynamic drag characteristics of the athletes during gliding are studied. The results show that the Reynolds number effect on the drag area coefficient (C_DA) of the athletes can be ignored during sliding when the sliding speed exceeds 20 m/s. The aerodynamic drag is increased by 12% after installing the track due to the narrow tunnel effect. When athletes raise their heads to adjust the gliding line, the aerodynamic drag can be increased by 16%, but tilting their heads can help reduce the negative effect on the aerodynamic drag, with the aerodynamic drag only increased by 10%. There is 27% difference in the aerodynamic drag between the toe-tight position and the toe-up position, which can have a great effect on the performance of the athletes. In addition, lowering the calf while keeping the point toes position is an effective way to reduce the aerodynamic drag for the luge athletes.
