Effect of landform on aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains in cutting under cross wind

摘要

The effects of the different landforms of the cutting leeward on the aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains were analyzed based on the three-dimensional,steady,and incompressible Navier-Stokes equation and k-double-equation turbulent model.Results show that aerodynamic forces increase with the cutting leeward slope decreasing.The maximum adding value of lateral force,lift force,and overturning moment are 147%,44.3%,and 107%,respectively,when the slope varies from 0.67 to-0.67,and the changes in the cutting leeward landform have more effects on the aerodynamic performance when the train is running in the line No.2 than in the line No.1.The aerodynamic forces,except the resistance force,sharply increase with the slope depth decreasing.By comparing the circumstance of the cutting depth H= 8 m with that of H=8 m,the resistance force,lateral force,lift force,and overturning moment increase by 26.0%,251%,67.3% and 177%,respectively.With the wind angle increasing,the resistance force is nonmonotonic,whereas other forces continuously rise.Under three special landforms,the changes in the law of aerodynamic forces with the wind angle are almost similar to one another.
