Tóm tắt

The aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains passing each other was investigated on a simply supported box girder bridge, with a span of 32 m, under crosswinds. The bridge and train models, modeled at a geometric scale ratio of 1:30, were used to test the aerodynamic forces of the train, with the help of a designed moving test rig in the XNJD-3 wind tunnel. The effects of wind speed, train speed, and yaw angle on the aerodynamic coefficients of the train were analyzed. The static and moving model tests were compared to demonstrate how the movement of the train influences its aerodynamic characteristics. The results show that the sheltering effect introduced by trains passing each other can cause a sudden change in force on the leeward train, which is further influenced by the wind and running speeds. Detailed analyses related to the effect of wind and train speeds on the aerodynamic coefficients were conducted. The relationship between the change in aerodynamic coefficients and yaw angle was finally described by a series of proposed fitting formulas.
