Numerical and experimental studies are performed to investigate the effect of the underbody shape of the simplified road vehicle on drag and life. Four different vehicle models with front and rear slanted variations at the lower surface are used in this study. Cases with a slanted underbody surface at front have smaller drag than those without a slanted surface. Also, cases with a slanted underbody surface at rear have smaller lift than those without a slanted surface. Pressure distributions along the model surfaces and velocity fields at the wake region are examined in detail. In general, numerical solutions are in agreement with experimental results.

In this study, the relationship between tie shape and underbody train gust of high-speed train is numerically investigated. To this end, complex train underbody/railroad model is replaced by simple plate/tie model. And it is tried to find a most important parameter for reduction of underbody train gust through the Taguchi method and orthogonal array. As a result, it is verified that the height of tie is most sensitive to the underbody train gust because of the cavity effect between ties. When the width and distance between ties are decreased, underbody train gust is also reduced. Consequently, the heighter is examined which can give the similar effect of higher tie without replacement of tie. The 5cm heighter can reduce underbody train gust about $73\%$, which value is only $7\%$ less than the higher tie.

차륜이나 기타 궤도주변의 구조물에 동에 충돌하여 유험을 초래할 수 있는 자갈비산 현상은 고속으로 달리는 열차의 하부에 유도되는 돌풍에 의해 발생 가능하다. 자갈비산을 방진하기 위한 방법 하나로 선로상의 자갈표면 유속을 감소시키는 높임침목이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 높임침목의 형상에 대하여 전산해석을 이용하여 그 공력특성을 분석하였다. 높임침목의 높이가 높아질수록 유도되는 유속은 감소하였으며 폭의 변화는 큰 영향이 없음을 확인하였다. 또한 높임침목의 형상 변화에 따라 자갈궤도면에 유도되는 유속을 검토하여 유동방향에 대하여 뾰족하고 각진 높임침목 형상이 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

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.

본 연구에서는 주요 간선 철도 노선의 고속화 시 열차풍 예측을 위하여 KTX 열차, 누리로 열차 및 TTX 열차를 대상으로 호남선과 경부선에서 Kiel-probe를 이용한 열차풍 측정 프루브 어레이와 다채널 압력측정 시스템을 이용하여 열차풍 현장 측정 시험을 수행하였다. 시험 결과, 열차가 통과하는 동안의 열차하부 평균유속을 열차의 속도로 나눈 값은 열차 속도에 무관하고 차량의 종류에만 관계하기 때문에, 주어진 열차의 종류와 열차 속도에 대하여 열차 하부의 유속을 예측할 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 열차 하부 형상과 하부 열차풍특성의 관계에 대해서도 논하였다.

A series do wind tunnel tests were conducted for Korean high-speed train model with various shape components to assess the contributions to aerodynamic drag. In order to elucidate the ground effects, two different wind tunnels, one with a moving ground system and the other with a fixed ground, were used for the same model and the results of both were compared and analyzed in detail. The result show that a suitable ground simulation is necessary for the test of a train model with many cars and detailed underbody. But the relative difference of the drag coefficients for the modifications of shape components can be measured by a fixed ground test with high accuracy and low cost. The effects of the nose shape, the inter-cargap and the bogie-fairing on total drag were discussed and some ideas were prosed to decrease the aerodynamic resistance of high speed train.

In order to reduce a aerodynamic drag of the rear, body, effects of rear lower end configuration of a vehicles were investigated by measuring the pressure distribution, visual flow phenomena by the use of digital image processing technique. The use of flow visualization in recent years has improved the general understanding of structure of complex flow and has yielded valuable information for analyzing fluid flow. As the results, it was found that the shape of rear lower part vehicles not only effected on the pressure distribution of the rear part of the vehicle but also difference of the flow phenomena.

The aerodynamic characteristics of the most popular car (PONY 2) produced in Korea have been experimentally investigated by Seoul National University's wind tunnel. The model (PONY 2) chosen for the wind tunnel was a 1/5 scale of the original car without simulated underbody, cooling air flow and accessories. The measured aerodynamic drag coefficient corrected by JARI formula is 0.45 which is very close to those of small foreign cars. To see the effect of the different configurations on the aerodynamic drag, the modifications have been made by changing the hood slope and backlight slope, and putting the add-on-aerodynamic devices on the orignal shape. The rear spoiler was found the most effective one to reduce the aerodynamic drag. It may be concluded that the considerable aerodynamic drag reduction can be achieved by changing the slopes and A-O-A devices at the proper places of the car.

The center floor is a part of underbody of cars. The assembling method is mostly a resistant spot welding. But the resistant spot welding has many demerits in productivity such as low welding speed, large spatter occurring, hard to verify the welding quality. The laser welding has many merits such as high welding speed, high static and dynamic weld strength. So the laser welding has been studied to substituted the resistant spot welding. Therefore, in this study, as a pre-evaluation stage for replacing the resistance spot welding with laser in production of automobile parts, the weldability of cold rolled and zinc coated steel sheets is studied and also evaluated the weld strength by the tensile shear test. And the shape of weld bead appearances and micro structure of the weld bead section is also evaluated.

고성능 EMU 열차의 형상 개선을 통한 공기저항 저감 효과를 알아보기 위하여 3차원정상 Navier-Stokes 방정식과 2방정식 난류 모델을 이용한 전산유체역학을 이용하여 수치해석을 수행하였다. 전산시뮬레이션에는 FLUENTTM ver.13과 Gambit 2.4.6이 사용되었으며, 기본 형상과 유선형으로 개선된 형상에 대하여 계산을 수행하였다. 또한, 터널 내 주행 시의 공기저항 특성을 살펴보기 위하여 개활지에서의 공기저항 계산도 수행하였으며, 차량 별 공기저항 기여도에 대한 분석도 수행되었다. 유선형으로 개선된 형상의 열차는 절편형 전두부와 돌출된 상부 및 하부구조를 가진 기본 형상 열차에 비하여 약 9.8%의 공기저항이 저감된 것을 확인하였으며, 공기저항 저감에 따른 주행저항의 저감은 시속 80km/h에서 약 4%에 이르는 것으로 나타났다.
