High Speed Trains

In this paper, the wind-induced response of the ADSS is analyzed when the high-speed trains pass by. The wind flow field of the high-speed train is simulated based on the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes equations, combined with the k-ε turbulence model. The result is shown that the wind load acting on the ADSS is quite low and the stress of the line clamp increases a little.

High Speed Trains

Numerical simulations were carried out to investigate the air flow and pressure distributions beneath high speed trains, based on the three-dimensional Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes equations with the SST k-ω two-equation turbulence model. The simulation scenarios were of the high speed train, the CRH2, running in the open air at four different speeds: 200km/h, 250km/h, 300km/h and 350km/h. The results show that, the highest area of pressure is located at the front underbody part of the train whist the pressure for rest of the train is relatively small. Increasing speed does not visibly increase the pressure coefficient, indicating that the pressure increases with the square of the operational speed.

In this paper, the aerodynamic effects of high-speed train passing in tunnels are investigated in numerical calculation method of hydromechanics. According to the actual situation of flow filed when the train through the tunnel, the flow geometry model is set up. The flow problem is described by Navier-Stokes equations of unsteady viscous compressible fluid and k-e two equations turbulent model. Thereby the aerodynamic effects of the train through the tunnel are analyzed comprehensively. The changes of the air pressure in tunnel caused by high-speed train entering into the tunnel are mainly analyzed. In addition, the mechanical characteristics of carriages when two train in the tunnel passing through each other are analyzed.

Mesh Method

The aerodynamic performances of a high speed train will significant change under the action of the crosswind. Large eddy simulation (LES) was made to solve the flow around a simplified CRH2 high speed train with 250km/h and 350km/h under the influence of a crosswind with 28.4m/s base on the finite volume method and dynamic layering mesh method and three dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. Wind tunnel experimental method of static train with relative flowing air and dynamic mesh method of moving train were compared. The results of numerical simulation show that the flow field around train is completely different between Wind tunnel experiment and factual running. Many vortices will be produced on the leeside of the train with alternately vehicle bottom and back under the influence of a crosswind. The flow field around train is similar with different vehicle speed.

<p>Combined external-internal flow simulation is required for the estimation of aerodynamic forces and moments of high speed air-breathing vehicle design. A wingless, X-tail configuration with asymmetrically placed rectangular air intake is numerically explored for which experimental data is available for different angles of attack. The asymmetrically placed air intakes and protrusions make the flow field highly three-dimensional and existing empirical relations are inadequate for preliminary design. Three dimensional Navier Stokes equations along with SST-kω turbulence model were solved with a commercial CFD solver to analyse the combined external and internal flow field of the configuration at different angles of attack. Estimated aerodynamic coefficients match well with experimental data and estimated drag coefficient are within 8.5 per cent of experimental data. Intake performance parameters were also evaluated for different angles of attack.</p>

Numerical Examination

The present work consists in a numerical examination of the dispersion of pollutants discharged from a bent chimney and crossing twin similar cubic obstacles placed in the lee side of the source. The resulting flow is assumed to be steady, three-dimensional and turbulent. Its modelling is based upon the resolution of the Navier Stokes equations by means of the finite volume method together with the RSM (Reynolds Stress Model) turbulent model. This examination aims essentially at detailing the wind flow perturbations, the recirculation and turbulence generated by the presence of the twin cubic obstacles placed tandem at different spacing distances (gaps): W = 4 h, W = 2 h and W = 1 h where W is the distance separating both buildings.

Collocated Grid

A pressure-based finite volume procedure developed previously for incompressible flows is extended to predict the three-dimensional compressible flow within a centrifugal impeller. In this procedure, the general curvilinear coordinate system is used and the collocated grid arrangement is adopted. Mass-averaging is used to close the instantaneous Navier-Stokes equations. The covariant velocity components are used as the main variables for the momentum equations, making the pressure-velocity coupling easier. The procedure is successfully applied to predict various compressible flows from subsonic to supersonic. With the aid of the k-ɛ turbulence model, the flow details within a centrifugal impeller are obtained using the present procedure. Predicted distributions of the meridional velocity and the static pressure are reasonable. Calculated radial velocities and flow angles are favourably compared with the measurements at the exit of the impeller.

Recirculation Zones

A numerical model based on a transformed, conservative form of the three-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations and an analytical model based on “lumped” fluid parameters are presented and compared with studies of modeled rotor/bearing/seal systems. The rotor destabilizing factors are related to the rotative character of the flow field. It is shown that these destabilizing factors can be reduced through a descrease in the fluid average circumferential velocity. However, the rotative character of the flow field is a complex three-dimensional system with bifurcated secondary flow patterns that significantly alter the fluid circumferential velocity. By transforming the Navier-Stokes equations to those for a rotating observer and using the numerical code PHOENICS-84 with a nonorthogonal body fitted grid, several numerical experiments were carried out to demonstrate the character of this complex flow field. In general, fluid injection and/or preswirl of the flow field opposing the shaft rotation significantly intensified these secondary recirculation zones and thus reduced the average circumferential velocity, while injection or preswirl in the direction of rotation significantly weakened these zones. A decrease in average circumferential velocity was related to an increase in the strength of the recirculation zones and thereby promoted stability. The influence of the axial flow was analyzed. The lumped model of fluid dynamic force based on the average circumferential velocity ratio (as opposed to the bearing/seal coefficient model) well described the obtained results for relatively large but limited ranges of parameters. This lumped model is extremely useful in rotor/bearing/seal system dynamic analysis and should be widely recommended. Fluid dynamic forces and leakage rates were calculated and compared with seal data where the working fluid was bromotrifluoromethane (CBrF3). The radial and tangential force predictions were in reasonable agreement with selected experimental data. Nonsynchronous perturbation provided meaningful information for system lumped parameter identification from numerical experiment data.

Sand Erosion

This paper presents a numerical procedure to predict a three-dimensional sand erosion phenomenon and the interaction between the flow field and the eroded surface. To simulate this phenomenon, the turbulent flow field, the particle trajectory and the amount of erosion on the eroded wall are calculated repeatedly. In computations of the flow field, compressible Navier-Stokes equations and low-Reynolds-number type k–ε turbulence model are adopted. Assuming that the concentration of suspended particle is dilute, particle-particle collision and the influence of particle motions on the flow field are neglected. The Neilson-Gilchrist erosion model is used to estimate the weight loss due to erosion. To verify the developed code, two types of 90-degree bends are computed. The results show that the present procedure can reasonably reproduce the sand erosion process and the temporal change of both the flow field and the wall surface qualitatively.

Film Lubrication

The performance of a cylindrical bore bearing fed by two axial grooves orthogonal to the load line is analyzed by solving the Navier-Stokes equations using the finite element method. This produces detailed information about the three-dimensional velocity and pressure field within the hydrodynamic film. It is also shown that the method may be applied to long bearing geometries where recirculatory flows occur and in which the governing equations are elliptic. As expected the analysis confirms that lubricant inertia does not affect bearing performance significantly.

Good Agreement

The multidimensional, ensemble-averaged, compressible, time-dependent Navier-Stokes equations have been used to study the turbulent flow field in two and three-dimensional turbine cascades. The viscous regions of the flow were resolved and no-slip boundary conditions were utilized on solid surfaces. The calculations were performed in a constructive ‘O’-type grid which allows representation of the blade rounded trailing edge. Converged solutions were obtained in relatively few time steps (∼ 80–150) and comparisons for both surface pressure and heat transfer showed good agreement with data. The three-dimensional turbine cascade calculation showed many of the expected flow-field features.
