1 Aerodynamik Astrid Herbst (Bombardier), Tomas Muld & Gunilla Efraimsson ( KTH)

2 Future demands Higher speeds and high capacity Wide body trains with max speed > 250 km/h Aerodynamic challenges specific for wide body trains: head pressure pulse & slipstream 2

3 Slipstream Safety issue for passengers on platform and trackside workers Measures on operation & train design 3

4 More value for environment and performance: Aerodynamic optimisation Reduction of drag saves energy and traction power Drag and Cross-Wind Optimisation

5 More value for environment and performance: Aerodynamic optimisation starting section of the nose tangent between nose and car body Parameterized model defines the variables and boundary conditions Computer optimisation by using the parameterized model Goal function is reduce drag while keeping the cross wind safety height and length of the nose height and length of the nose starting section of the nose size of the bogie fairing size of the bogie fairing upper curvature of the carbody upper curvature of the carbody spoiler geometry spoiler geometry tangent between nose and car body chamfering chamfering upper curvature of the nose tip lateral tangent at the nose tip upper part of the nose tip lower part of the nose tip upper curvature of the nose tip lateral tangent at the nose tip upper part of the nose tip lower part of the nose tip

6 Low drag More value for environment and performance: Aerodynamic optimization Thousands of virtual wind tunnel tests in the computer used to find the very best shape Main result shows % lower drag and % lower energy consumption Installed power can be reduced with lower cost Lower energy cost for operators Design Space Pareto front Increasing stability

9 Numerical simulations of slipstream performed at KTH

10 Slipstream Slipstream= Induced velocity by the train Regions 1) Head pressure pulse 2) Boundary Layer (Freight Trains) 3) Near wake (High-speed Train) 4) Far Wake

11 Train models Aerodynamic Train Model (ATM) Regina (CRH1)

12 Decomposition models Full flow field = = Mode 1 Mode 2,3 Mode 4,5 Mode 6+

13 Connection between modes Phase portrait Spiraling circles when the modes are connected Random patterns when not

14 Isosurface of V-velocity Mode Example of flow structure

15 Decomposition models Challenges - Long computation times - Accurate results Understanding of dominant energetic structures Two methods - Proper Orthogonal Decomposition (POD) - Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD)

16 Comparing with Experiments CFD by KTH Water Towing Tank from Bombardier performed at DLR

17 Grid study Small cells Medium cells Large cells

18 TSI-measurements 1.2 m 3 m Velocity for an observer standing on platform 0.07s (1s) time averaged velocity

19 Achievements Showed that POD and DMD can be used with Detached Eddy Simulation flow fields. Identified dominant flow structures for two different trains. Used advanced models on applied geometries. Cooperation and exchange of knowledge with Bombardier. Fundament for efficient prediction to connect train geometry and slipstream.
