With the world development of high-speed railways and increasing speeds, aerodynamic forces and moments acting on trains have been increased further, making trains stay at a “floated” state. Under a strong crosswind, the aerodynamic performance of a train on the embankment is greatly deteriorated; lift force and horizontal force borne by trains will be increased quickly; trains may suffer derailing or overturning more easily compared with the flat ground; train derailing will take place when the case is serious. All of these phenomena have brought risks to people’s life and properties. Hence, the paper establishes an aerodynamic model about a high-speed train passing an air barrier, computes aerodynamic forces and moments, and analyzes pulsating pressures on the train surface as well as those of unsteady flow fields around the train. Computational results indicate that when the train passed the embankment air barrier, the head wave of air pressure full wave is more than the tail wave; the absolute value of negative wave is more than that of the positive wave, which is more obvious in the head train. When the train is passing the air barrier, pressure pulsation values at head train points are more than those at other points, while pressure changes most violently at the train bottom, and pressure values close to the air barrier are more than those points far from the air barrier. Pressure values at the cross section 1 were larger than those of other points. Pressure values at measurement points of the tail train ranked the second place, with the maximum negative pressure of 1253 Pa. Pressure change amplitudes and maximum negative pressure on the train surface are increased quickly, while pressure peak values on the high-speed train surface are in direct ratio to the running speed. With the increased speed of the high-speed train, when it is running in the embankment air barrier, the aerodynamic force and moment borne by each train body are increased sharply, while the head train suffers the most obvious influences of aerodynamic effects.

The train door of the high speed train currently operation in Korea is consist of 46 train set(1,656 units) and they are all made up of imports. The problem is that it is difficult to service parts at the right time for breakdown or replacement as parts are imported. Moreover, it is difficult to secure service parts when they are discontinued due to characteristics of imported parts, this leads to an increase in overall maintenance cost. As a result, the Korea Railroad Corporation has developed localization of the high speed train door system and currently progress the on-track test to verify reliability. In this paper, the design and production process of development product and result of performance test are summarized. In addition, the technical improvement of the developed product compared to the existing product was confirmed and the method for securing the reliability was considerate.

Abstract Conventional studies usually assume that the train surface is smooth, so as to simplify the numerical calculation. In fact, the surface of the train is irregular, which will change the flow characteristics in the boundary layer and further affect the aerodynamic performance of a train. In this work, roughness is applied to the roof of a 1:25 scaled train model in the form of longitudinal strips. Firstly, the improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method is adopted to simulate the aerodynamic performance of the train model with both smooth and rough surface, which are subjected to crosswind. Results show that the side force coefficient and the roll moment coefficient subjected to rough model decreased by 3.71% and 10.56% compared with the smooth model. Then, the width, height and length of the strips are selected as variables to design different numerical simulation schemes based on the orthogonal experimental design method. Through variance analysis, it can be found that four design parameters have no significant effect on the side force coefficient. Meanwhile, for the roll moment coefficient, the length of the strips in the straight region of the train has a significant effect and the width of the strips has a highly significant effect on it. These conclusions can provide a theoretical basis to improve the aerodynamic performance of the high-speed train subjected to crosswind.

High-speed train is developing popular in China, which provides the convenient and fast transportation way, comparable to plane. The moving direction and speed of high-speed train is decided by the traction motor. Generally, a coaxial centrifugal fan is used to cool the motor and assemble in the motor casing. To ensure the reliability of the traction motor, more and more attention is paid to improve the performance of cooling fans in a wide range of rotating speed. As the train is designed to move in both directions, the traction motor is designed to rotate in both directions, so does the coaxial motor cooling fan. Symmetrical and straight blade structure is adopted to get the same performance of the fan in both forward and reverse moving directions. Therefore, the aerodynamic performance of the cooling fan is relatively not good enough, which results in relatively high aerodynamic noise. In order to analyze the cooling fan aerodynamic performance and aerodynamic noise, CFD method was performed on the full 3D model with the impeller-casing clearance. The acoustic analogy method was used to analyze the noise of the centrifugal cooling fan. In addition, the aerodynamic noise of the motor with the cooling fan was tested at different rotating speed in the semi-anechoic lab. The CFD method is verified and the results are in good agreement with the experimental results. The results show that it is necessary to consider the effects of impeller-casing leakage and the vacuum inlet condition in the simulated model to get its more accurate performance. Modified CFD model of the cooling fan was proposed here. It is suggested that the modified structure of the casing can be used to improve the performance of the cooling fan and reduce the corresponding aerodynamic noise.
