Characteristics of Train Wind and Analysis of Personnel Safety in Double-Line Shield Tunnel

Article Preview

Abstract:

Based on the three-dimensional incompressible Navier - Stokes equations and the standard turbulent model, this paper develops a tunnel-air-train simulation model. Time-history variation rules and space distribution characteristics of train wind are studied at 200km per hour, and safety avoidance distance on evacuation passageways is further discussed. The results show that: Train wind is complex three-dimensional flow which is changed with time and space, since personnel safety may be threatened by train wind. Therefore, effective measures should be taken to avoid accidents.
