The aerodynamic drag of high-speed train has been calculated and the effect of bogie side fairing on the aerodynamic drag has been investigated. Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation based on steady-state 3 dimensional Navier-Stokes equation has been conducted employing FLUENT 12 and the aerodynamic model of HEMU-430x, the Korean next generation high-speed train under development has been built using GAMBIT 2.4.6. Three types of bogie side fairing configuration, the proto-type without fairing, half-covered fairing to avoid the interference with the bogie frame and full-covered fairing have been adopted to the train model to compare the drag reduction effects of the bogie side fairing configurations and the numerical results yields that the bogie side fairing can reduce the aerodynamic drag of the 6-car trainset up to 7.8%. The aerodynamic drag coefficient of each vehicle as well as the flow structures around the bogie system have also been examined to analyze the reason and mechanism of the drag reduction by bogie side fairing.

The maximum speed of high-speed rail is restricted to various factors such as track condition including slope and radius, tunnel and dynamic stability of vehicle. Among the various factors, traction effort and resistance to motion is principal and basic factor. In addition, at high speed over 300km/h, aerodynamic drag amounts up to 80% of resistance to motion, that it can be said that aerodynamic drag is the most important factor to decide the maximum speed of high-speed rail system. This paper deals with a measure to increase the maximum speed of high-speed train by reducing aerodynamic drag. The traction effort curve and resistance to motion curve of existing high-speed train under development has been employed to set up the target of aerodynamic drag reduction to reach up to 500km/h without modification traction system. In addition, the contribution of various sources of aerodynamic drag to total value has been analyzed and the strategy for implementation of aerodynamic drag reduction has been discussed based on the aerodynamic simulation results around the train using computational fluid dynamics.

Roof-fairing and deflector system have been used on heavy-duty trucks to minimize aerodynamic drag force not only for driving stability of the truck but also for energy saving by reducing the required driving power of the vehicle. In this study, a numerical simulation was carried out to see aerodynamic effect of the drag reducing device on the model vehicle. Drag and lift force generated on the five different models of the drag reducing system were calculated and compared them each other to see which type of device is efficient on the reduction of driving power of the vehicles quantitatively. An experiment has been done to see airflow characteristics on the model vehicles. Airflow patterns around the model vehicles were visualized by smoke generation method to compare the complexity of airflow around drag reducing device. From the results, the deflector systems(Model 5,6) were revealed as a better device for reduction of aerodynamic drag than the roof-fairing systems(Model 2,3,4) on the heavy-duty truck and it can be expected that over 10% of brake power of an engine can be saved on a tractor-trailer by the aerodynamic drag reducing device at normal speed range($80km/h{\sim}$).

고속열차의 공기저항 저감을 위해 KTX-산천의 구성요소별 공기저항을 상세하게 분석하였다. 전체 공기저항의 약 42.9%는 동력차(선두차, 후미차)에서 그리고 약 10.1%는 대차에서 유발되는 것으로 나타났다. 전두부의 공기저항 저감을 위해 Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno 기법을 이용한 전두부 최적설계를 수행하였다. 그리고 차체 공기저항 저감을 위해 동력차 형상 변화 및 대차커버를 적용하였다. 공기저항 저감을 위해 최적설계된 편성열차의 공기저항은 KTX-산천 대비 약 15.0% 저감되었으며, 주행저항은 속도 350km/h에서 약 12% 감소될 것으로 예상된다.

Reduction of the aerodynamic drag is one of the most hot issues of car industries. Many researchers have studied in the area of drag reduction methodology using experimental tools or numerical tools. In general, car shape design is the main focus to reduce the drag in aerodynamic research area. However, not many people have studied the aerodynamic interference between running cars to figure out the drag variation. In this research, the aerodynamic interference between two running cars have been analyzed by using numerical tools, FLUENT 6.2. Several different models of cars and two different distances between two running cars are considered.

플라즈마 유동제어를 통한 공기저항저감을 위해 DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge) 플라즈마 구동기를 설계하였고, 2D 시험모델의 풍동시험을 통해 항력저감을 측정하였다. 풍속이 없는 경우에는 유동박리 및 표면마찰저항이 존재하지 않으므로 플라즈마 유동제어를 통한 항력저감도 없었다. 2m/s의 풍속에서 유동박리제어를 통해 항력이 9.7%까지 감소됨을 확인하였으며, 풍속이 증가할수록 항력저감은 감소하였다.

The primary challenge in improving fuel efficiency and reducing air pollution for commercial vehicles is reducing their aerodynamic drag. Various flow control devices, such as cab-roof fairing, gap fairing, cab extender, and side skirt have been introduced to reduce drag, however, the drag reduction effect and applicability are different depending on each commercial vehicle model. To evaluate the fuel consumption of heavy vehicles, a comprehensive research approach, including drag force measurement, flow field analysis is required. This study investigated the effect of a cab extender, which installed rear region of cab, on a drag coefficient of commercial vehicle through wind tunnel experiments and CFD. The results showed that the cab extender significantly modified the flow structure around the vehicle, leading to 8.2% reduction in drag coefficient compared to the original vehicle model. These results would provide practical application for enhancing the aerodynamic performance and fuel efficiency of heavy vehicle.

지능형교통체계(ITS) 정책의 일환으로 도로전광표지의 보급이 확대됨에 따라 그에 따른 유지보수의 비용 증가하고 있다. 본 논문은 도로전광표지의 공기저항 저감을 위하여 곡면 U형, 곡면 C형, 통풍형 공기저항 저감 구조를 제안하였으며 유동해석을 통해 제안한 공기저항 저감 표출부 함체의 풍하중 영향을 분석하였다. 풍직각 방향과 좌우 $45^{\circ}$ 방향, 상하 $45^{\circ}$ 방향에 대한 유동해석 결과, 곡면 C형 모델과 통풍형 세 가지 모델의 경우 풍방향 전 방향에 걸쳐 기본형 도로전광 표지에 대해 약 30% 정도의 풍하중 저감율이 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 또한 곡면 U형 모델은 기본형 도로전광표지 대비풍직각 방향과 풍방향 좌우 $45^{\circ}$ 방향에 대해서는 풍하중 저감효과가 있으나 풍방향이 상하 $45^{\circ}$ 방향으로 작용할 경우 풍하중 저감 효과가 미비한 것으로 나타났다. 향후 본 연구의 분석 결과를 토대로 도로전광표지의 공기저항을 줄여 태풍으로 인한 피해가 예상되는 곳에 적용 가능하고, 나아가 도로전광표지 지지구조물의 경량화가 가능해짐으로써 도로전광표지의 설치장소 제약을 완화시킬 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.
