A Study about aerodynamic characteristics of High speed train by fore-body shape design

고속전철의 형상에 따른 공력특성 연구

The aerodynamic charateristics of high speed train can be improved by fore-body design. In this paper, the design a fore-body shape which has optimal aerodynamic charateristics, 6 models of fore-body shape are proposed and the change of aerodynamic characteristics is studied through calculations of flow field around high speed train fro each fore-body shape. The flow field around high speed trains are calculated using Navier-Stokes equation. The variational trends of aerodynamic characteristics are studied from the result of flow calculation around high speed trains for 6 fore-body shapes.
