Influence of Vented Tunnel Hood on Aerodynamic Characteristics

Abstract:

On the basis of the three-dimensional ,unsteady-state , viscous N-S Equation and k-ε two equation turbulence model , the simulation calculation is made with the finite volume method on the aerodynamic effect of a high-speed train passing a tunnel.The numerical computation simulates the pressure change in the tunnel,analysises regularity of the the initial compression wave and the pressure gradient wave,compares the mitigation effect of the two hoods on the pressure gradient.The following conclusions have been drawn from the research: The amplitude of the initial compression wave is not significantly reduced with hood,however,the amplitude of the pressure gradient is significantly reduced with hood.And the mitigation effect of the vented hood is better than the unvented one.
