LBM 기법을 이용한 고속열차 공기저항 전산해석

초록

For high-speed trains, estimation of aerodynamic drag as well as understanding of flow structure around trains is very important to design aerodynamic shape. In this study, LBM(Lattice Boltzmann Method) has been employed to assess the aerodynamic drag of high-speed train quantitatively, and numerical simulation around the high-speed train has been conducted. Incompressible VLES(Very Large Eddy Simulation) model has been used in simulating by Power FLOW of Exa Co. in accordance with the flow Mach number about 0.2 which corresponds to freestream velocity 70m/s. The aerodynamic drag coefficient from numerical simulation has been compared with that from wind tunnel experiment to evaluate the accuracy of the numerical methods. The unsteady flow characteristics around high-speed train as well as the application of LBM to high-speed train have also been discussed.
