Abstract

In order to decide the strength requirement of the window glass for the high-speed train, the pressure change during the passage of the EMU type high-speed train has been numerically simulated. Based on the calculation results, the pressure difference between the inner and outer pressure of the cabin has been calculated to yield the amount of load acting on the window glass of the cabin. To simulate the pressure field generated by the high-speed train passing through the tunnel, computational fluid dynamics based on the axi-symmetric Navier-Stokes equation has been employed. The pressure change inside a train has been calculated using first order difference approximation based on a linear equation between the pressure change ratio inside a train and the pressure difference of inside and outside of the train.

분산형 고속철도차량의 유리창 강도조건을 설정하기 위하여 열차가 터널을 통과하는 동안의 압력변동이 수치적으로 모사되었다. 계산결과를 토대로 객실 내외의 압력차이가 계산되었고, 객실 유리창에 작용하는 하중의 크기가 도출되었다. 열차가 터널을 통과하는 동안의 압력장을 모사하기 위하여 축대칭 Navier-Stokes 방정식에 기반한 전산유체역학이 이용되었다. 차량 내부의 압력변동은 차내 압력변화율과 차 내외부 압력변동의 선형 관계식에 근거한 1차 차분식을 이용하여 계산되었다.
