Research of Train Wind Characteristics in High-Speed Railway Tunnel

According to the 100m(2) high-speed tunnel cross-section which is generally used in high-speed railway of China, this paper develops a tunnel-air-train simulation model, based on the three-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations and the standard k - epsilon turbulence model. Time-history variation rules and space distribution characteristics of train wind are studied respectively. The results show that: train wind is complex three-dimensional flow changing with time and space, air at the front of train flows away from the train head, while air at the rear of train flows to the train tail.
