Aerodynamic Characteristics When Trains Pass Each Other in High-Speed Railway Shield Tunnel
The characteristics of the aerodynamic effects of high-speed trains passing in a shield tunnel were studied using the three-dimensional, compressible, unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations for the simulation analysis. Numerical calculations were compared with dynamic model tests...

| description | The characteristics of the aerodynamic effects of high-speed trains passing in a shield tunnel were studied using the three-dimensional, compressible, unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) equations for the simulation analysis. Numerical calculations were compared with dynamic model tests to verify the reliability of the numerical simulations. The results showed that the compression wave characteristics of high-speed trains in shield tunnels were consistent with those in molded concrete tunnels. When high-speed trains met in the middle of the shield tunnel, the positive and negative peak attenuation rates of shield tunnels were higher than the positive and negative peak attenuation rates of molded lining tunnels, and the maximum pressure attenuation rate could reach 57.8%. At the same time, the micro-pressure wave of the former was reduced by 10.78%, compared with those of the latter. When meeting cars at different locations, the maximum pressure at the intersection in the center of the tunnel was significantly higher than those at other intersection points in the tunnel. Different intersection positions and different tunnel lining structures had relatively little influence on the aerodynamic drag and lateral force, while train speed had a significant influence. |
