A Study of Reduction of Underbody Train Gust by a Heighter
하이터를 이용한 하부 열차풍 감소에 대한 연구
Abstract
The ballast-flying, induced by strong underbody train gust, may damage train underbody, wheel and even cause the safety problems. For this reason, a heighter is being used to prevent the ballast-flying phenomenon through underbody now reduction. In this research, flow field around a heighter is numerically simulated. And the parametric study of various heighter shapes is performed to find out more effective heighter shape. Also the ballast-flying probabilities are calculated for various ballast types and train speeds.
