Analysis of aerodynamic and aeroacoustic behaviour of a simplified high-speed train bogie
نویسندگان
چکیده
As one of the main aerodynamic noise sources of high-speed trains, the bogie is a complex structure containing many components and the flow around it is extremely dynamic with high-level turbulence. Flow around a simplified bogie at scale 1:10 is studied numerically using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) for comparison with experimental measurements. The upstream inlet flow is represented as a steady uniform flow of low turbulence level in the simulations. Following a rigorous grid refinement study, multi-block fully structured meshes with hexahedral cells are generated for all cases to improve numerical efficiency and accuracy. The aerodynamic and aeroacoustic behaviour of the flow past an isolated wheelset, tandem wheelsets and a simplified bogie are investigated.

Speed is the created air flow as well as slipstream effects as the trains move. These effects can have some level of impact on fuel and energy efficiency of the train, but their other important outcome is the emergence of turbulent flows at higher speeds which can cause aerodynamic drag forces followed by noise and vibration. Thus, slipstream effects have significant importanc...

In Japan, several projects to increase train speed are underway, requiring a new generation pantograph that achieves further reduction in aerodynamic noise. However, as reduction of pantograph noise usually conflicts with the stabilization of its lift force characteristics, a number of experiments have to be conducted to develop a new type of pantograph. The aeroacoustic and lift force characte...
