The dimensional parameters of the train shape are sufficiently implemented in the global optimization for the first time. The size of the cross-sectional area and the vehicle volume are considered as nonlinear constraints thus making the optimization as close to the specification as possible. An optimization algorithm and a surrogate evaluation procedure are employed to facilitate design optimization for large-scale numerical simulations. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the designed surrogate-based optimization method, the aerodynamic shape optimization problems of the leading vehicle of a typical high-speed train ICE 3 is considered in terms of drag reduction and crosswind stability. Insights into the initial variable design space are provided by the results of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and the analysis of variance (ANOVA) test. These results indicate that the length of a uniform section of the train significantly contributes to the drag coefficient, while the train's height is the most critical design parameter for the side force coefficient. Concerning the drag coefficient without crosswind and the side force coefficient with crosswind, two single-objective optimization procedures are developed separately to minimize the two objectives, resulting in reductions in drag and side force coefficients of approximately 22.30% and 24.31%, respectively. On this basis, a multi-objective optimization procedure is performed to obtain a Pareto front. Although the optimization strength of the side force coefficient is obviously higher than that of the drag coefficient, the relative changes indicate that both objectives are in the same order of significance.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics","volume":"259 ","pages":"Article 106044"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The process involves three stages: establishing extreme event thresholds using extreme value analysis (EVA), training the model on historical weather data for precise point forecasting and classification, and calibrating the output for accurate extreme event identification. The model is trained using a combination of the losses corresponding to each output with tuned weights. Evaluated using data from Los Angeles, Chicago, and Houston, for a 60 and 90 min forecast interval, the model demonstrates reasonable performance in specific climatic conditions, outperforming its single-output regression and classification counterparts in terms of both accuracy and generalisation. This indicates strong potential for real-world applications in specific regions. Crucially, the study reveals that the forecast performances of the model are closely related to the imbalance ratios, highlighting a significant link between the model’s performance and the distribution of wind speed within the dataset. This highlights the importance of considering the imbalance ratio in the predictive model, especially when integrating EVA according to typical engineering practices. This innovative approach offers a reliable and flexible framework for enhancing EWS predictions, contributing significantly to the safety and decision-making processes in managing infrastructures.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics","volume":"259 ","pages":"Article 106035"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143395850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several reduced velocities are studied in the VIV-prone range of the bare deck of the Stonecutters Bridge, analysing the spectra of the time-histories of force coefficients, for the overall deck and individual boxes, and heave oscillations. Similarly, the contribution of the local lift coefficient has been studied along with the work done by the deck and the individual boxes at different reduced velocities. It has been found that the leeward box is the one governing the overall VIV response of the deck.

Aerodynamic loads on trains, bridges, and wind barriers are analyzed in this study, which also examines the evolution of flow field characteristics and power spectral density (PSD) across spatial and temporal scales, based on wind tunnel tests, flow visualization tests, and computational fluid dynamics methods. The results reveal that the presence of double-sided wind barriers alters the distribution of turbulence intensity and vortex structures near the bridge–wind barriers compared to single-sided wind barriers. Additionally, double-sided wind barriers greatly increase the aerodynamic loads on trains and bridge–wind barriers compared to single-sided wind barriers. Furthermore, the peak PSD values for bridge-wind barriers with double-sided wind barriers are 1.9–4 times higher than those with single-sided wind barriers. Consequently, the single-sided wind barrier may be a more suitable choice for handling unidirectional crosswinds, considering construction costs and structural safety concerns for both the bridge and the wind barrier.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54752,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics","volume":"258 ","pages":"Article 106038"},"PeriodicalIF":4.2,"publicationDate":"2025-02-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143349008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
