Abstract

Abstract

Adding the aeronautic wing to the high-speed train equivalently reduces its weight through the lift force provided by the wing. Hopefully, the energy consumption of the high-speed train can be reduced. This provides a new concept for the high speed train design. The aerodynamic characteristics of the wing directly affect the weight reduction effects. Therefore, it is important to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing under different conditions for the design of the train lift wing. The k–ε model was used in this study for numerical simulation. Firstly, the influence of the connection rod between the wing and the train roof on the aerodynamic characteristics of the lift wing was analyzed. On this basis, the effects of design parameters such as the wing-roof height, the incoming flow velocity and the angle of attack on the aerodynamic characteristics of the wing were studied. The results shows that: the influence of the connection rod on the lift and drag of the wing is less than 3.7%. Due to the high-speed airflow induced by the leading edge of the train roof model, the air velocity impacting on the lift wing decreases with the increase of the flying height of the lift wing, and the lift force tends to decrease. Within 3 times of the chord length height, the maximum lift difference of different lift wings does will not exceed 3%. When the velocity of the incoming flow is up to 90 m/s and larger, the lift coefficient and the drag coefficient of the lift wing were close to near 1.62 and 0.61, respectively. As the angle of attack varies within 0° to 22°, the lift coefficients of the wing increase continuously. However, the lift coefficients decrease when the attack angle is above 22°.
