Effect of cavity flow control on high-speed train pantograph and roof aerodynamic noise
Tóm tắt
The pantograph and its recess on the train roof are major aerodynamic noise sources on high-speed trains. Reducing this noise is particularly important because conventional noise barriers usually do not shield the pantograph. However, less attention has been paid to the pantograph recess compared with the pantograph. In this paper, the flow features and noise contribution of two types of noise reduction treatments rounded and chamfered edges are studied for a simplified high-speed train pantograph recess, which is represented as a rectangular cavity and numerically investigated at 1/10 scale. Improved delayed detached-eddy simulations are performed for the near-field turbulent flow simulation, and the Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings aeroacoustic analogy is used for far-field noise prediction. The highly unsteady flow over the cavity is significantly reduced by the cavity edge modifications, and consequently, the noise radiated from the cavity is reduced. Furthermore, effects of the rounded cavity edges on the flow and noise of the pantographs (one raised and one folded) are investigated by comparing the flow features and noise contributions from the cases with and without rounding of the cavity edges. Different train running directions are also considered. Flow analysis shows that the highly unsteady flow within the cavity is reduced by rounding the cavity edges and a slightly lower flow speed occurs around the upper parts of the raised pantograph, whereas the flow velocity in the cavity is slightly increased by the rounding. Higher pressure fluctuations occur on the folded pantograph and the lower parts of the raised pantograph, whereas weaker fluctuations are found on the panhead of the raised pantograph. This study shows that by rounding the cavity edges, a reduction in radiated noise at the side and the top receiver positions can be achieved. Noise reductions in the other directions can also be found.
