The objective of the current work is to shed light on studying the air flow features of the air path which is part of the passive containment cooling system (PCS) in a pressurized water reactor design. A wind tunnel test using a 1:100 scaled model is established to study the characteristic called “wind-neutrality” of the air flow in the air path, which indicates that the environmental wind should not be beneficial or detrimental to the air flow for containment cooling. Test results show that the pressure distribution in the air path is uniform, and wind speeds, wind angles, and surroundings have little effect on air flow uniformity. These investigations show that it is possible to understand air flows in the air path of PCS with a scale wind tunnel test.

In this paper, experimental results both of wind tunnel test and running test for HEMU-400X pantograph were compared and were analyzed. In wind tunnel test, 1/4scale pantograph for HEMU-400X which is being developed for the maximum speed of 400km/h in Korea were tested to investigate the vertical lift force of pantograph at the operational speed of 250, 270, 300, 330, 360 and 400km/h using lift estimation from 1/4 scaled model results. In the running test of train, the contacting force of pantograph was measured to current operational speed of 300km/h. Finally, the results of vertical lift force of pantograph in wind tunnel test and contacting force for the running test were compared to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of the pantograph for HEMU-400X.

Data post-processing plays important roles in a wind tunnel test, especially in supporting the validation of the test results and further data analysis related to the design activities of the test objects. One effective solution to carry out the data post-processing in an automated productive manner, and thus eliminate the cumbersome conventional manual way, is building a software which is able to execute calculations and have abilities in presenting and analyzing the data in accordance with the post-processing requirement. Through several prototype development cycles, this work attempts to engineer and realize such software to enhance the overall wind tunnel test activities.
