Abstract:
Full-scale testing of trains is very expensive, whereas model scale experiments are often restricted to small scales and short models. Numerical simulations offer the possibility to investigate a wide range of issues without these limitations. Using SIMULIA PowerFLOW, a variety of simulations were carried out to investigate the aerodynamic characteristics of a high-speed train. The impact of different ground configurations and varying train lengths on the flow around the train is studied.
