One Dimensional Simulation of Capsule Train Flow
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, one dimensional model is developed for capsule train flow in a horizontal pipe. Simulation model calculates the pressure drop of the flow of solid-water two-phase mixture inside the pipe. Through this model, effects of different suspension viscosity models and suspension to wall friction coefficients on the pressure drop of the capsule train flow are investigated. The simulation results are compared and validated with the results obtained from two different experimental analyses. The simulation results are compared and validated with the results obtained from the experiment which has been performed with anomalous shape capsules having higher density than the carrier liquid. In the experiment, measurements have been carried out in a horizontal straight plexiglass pipe and water has been used as a carrier liquid. The results show that the 1D model can be applicable to pressure drop solid-water two phase mixture with sufficient accuracy.

Rail irregularity is one of the most effective factors in train derailment. theste irregularities have generally random distribution that are assumed to be stationary random and ergodic processes in space, with Gaussian amplitude probabiliy densities and zero mean values. The quality of irregularities, their distribution along the rails and wagon speed are the main factors for train derailment ...

Simulation of Metro Train Fire in an Underground Station of Tehran Metro Line 7
In this research a fire scenario was simulated in one of the stations of the line 7 of Tehran's subway system. The Line 7 is under construction and the ventilation system is under design. Fire was set for a stopping metro train at the platform of the station. A 160 meter length eight-car metro train with the forth wagon on the fire was studied. The heat release rate is based on a quadratic f...
