Analyze of aerodynamic forces acting on the Siemens Desiro railcar

This paper aims to examine the influence of aerodynamic forces acting on the Siemens Desiro railcar, and the percentage of these forces in the total values of resistance to motion. In this regard the numerical simulation of the airflow is used as a method of analysis. We started from the 3D geometri...

description This paper aims to examine the influence of aerodynamic forces acting on the Siemens Desiro railcar, and the percentage of these forces in the total values of resistance to motion. In this regard the numerical simulation of the airflow is used as a method of analysis. We started from the 3D geometric model at a scale of 1:1 of the vehicle bodywork constructive form. The air flow simulation is performed taking into account the speed limits of the vehicle namely 0 km/ h and 140 km/ h, interval in which eight point values are chosen.
