Abstract.
This paper utilized the Boundary Element Method (BEM) combined with the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) based on Lighthill’s analogy in the high-speed train model, and converted the fluctuating flow pressure near the vehicle’s surface into the dipole source boundary condition in acoustics grid, eventually succeeded in completing the numerical simulation of aerodynamic noise field outside the high-speed train by introducing the dipole source boundary condition into the train BEM model.
This paper utilized the Computational Aero-Acoustics (CAA) technology to the high-speed train flow model, and succeeded in getting the numerical simulation of aerodynamic noise field outside the high-speed train by introducing the dipole source boundary condition into the train’s BEM model.
Firstly, this paper utilizes the LES turbulence model in the CFD to simulate the external flow-field of the train at 270km/h, and obtain and export the fluctuating turbulence pressure data signals near the train’s surface meanwhile.

For the simulation and the modeling of a fire several approaches are available [3-4], the most accurate, but computationally expensive one, is the computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
In this sense, an initial attempt applied to steel structures was done by Zhang in [5] who used the results obtained from the CFD simulation in a pure thermo-mechanical solver.
In particular, for the structural analysis a set of boundary conditions will be calculated from the CFD simulation, including both heat and mass transfer.
Further developments in this research, will include a “two ways” coupling with which the results obtained from the FEM analysis of the solid domain will be used as boundary conditions for the CFD simulation.
