Abstract
To improve the aerodynamic performance of a high-speed train (HST) and reduce the safety risk of wake movement on platform commuters, trackside workers, and surrounding infrastructure, an active flow control method based on synthetic jets (SJs) is proposed to suppress the wake of the HST. The wake of the HST controlled by synthetic jets with different momentum coefficients is simulated by the improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) method embedded in ANSYS Fluent. Then, the slipstream velocity, aerodynamic force, velocity field in the wake region are analyzed. The results show that synthetic jets can effectively reduce the amplitude of the slipstream velocity in the wake region, the aerodynamic drag, and the fluctuation of the aerodynamic side force of the tail car. Furthermore, the synthetic jets delay the flow separation on the side of the tail car through periodic ejection and suction, and then attenuate the vortex motion in the wake region.
期刊介绍:
Flow, Turbulence and Combustion provides a global forum for the publication of original and innovative research results that contribute to the solution of fundamental and applied problems encountered in single-phase, multi-phase and reacting flows, in both idealized and real systems. The scope of coverage encompasses topics in fluid dynamics, scalar transport, multi-physics interactions and flow control. From time to time the journal publishes Special or Theme Issues featuring invited articles.
Contributions may report research that falls within the broad spectrum of analytical, computational and experimental methods. This includes research conducted in academia, industry and a variety of environmental and geophysical sectors. Turbulence, transition and associated phenomena are expected to play a significant role in the majority of studies reported, although non-turbulent flows, typical of those in micro-devices, would be regarded as falling within the scope covered. The emphasis is on originality, timeliness, quality and thematic fit, as exemplified by the title of the journal and the qualifications described above. Relevance to real-world problems and industrial applications are regarded as strengths.
