Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of tunnel aerodynamics, and in particular to a buffer structure for alleviating micro-pressure waves at a high-speed railway tunnel portal. Background Art

[0002] When a high-speed train enters a tunnel, the air ahead is confined by the tunnel walls, generating compression waves. These waves propagate outward at the tunnel exit in the form of micro-pressure waves, causing a series of aerodynamic issues, including sonic booms at the tunnel entrance and structural vibrations. As train speeds continue to increase, the aerodynamic effects of vehicle-tunnel coupling will become more pronounced, and the impact of these micro-pressure waves at the tunnel exit on the surrounding environment will become even more severe.

[0003] At present, the main measure to mitigate micropressure waves is to add buffer structures at tunnel entrances. While the buffer structures currently used have a certain effect on mitigating micropressure waves, when the train speed reaches 400 km / h, the amplitude of the micropressure waves at the tunnel entrance under the existing buffer structures exceeds the standard value of micropressure waves at the entrances of high-speed railway tunnels in my country (TB 10761-2013). Furthermore, due to factors such as the terrain and the tunnel entrance environment, the mitigation effect of the existing buffer structures is difficult to further improve. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the prior art and provide a buffer structure that can effectively improve the buffering effect of micro-air pressure waves at the entrance of a high-speed railway tunnel.

[0005] The buffer structure provided by the present invention is used to alleviate micro-air pressure waves at the entrance of a high-speed railway tunnel, including a buffer structure body arranged at the tunnel entrance, the outer end face of the buffer structure body being a beveled surface, an arched plate being sleeved between the buffer structure body and the tunnel clearance, the axis of the arched plate being arranged to coincide with the axis of the tunnel, the arched plate and the buffer structure body being connected to the outer end face of the tunnel to form a decompression zone with an open outer end and a closed inner end, and a plurality of through holes connected to the decompression chamber are opened on the arched plate.

[0006] The cross-sectional area of the buffer structure body is twice the cross-sectional area of the tunnel.

[0007] The through hole is square or circular.

[0008] The through holes are arranged in multiple rows along the axial direction of the arched plate, and the through holes in the same row are arranged at equal intervals along the axial direction of the arched plate.

[0009] The through holes are arranged in four rows along the axial direction of the arched plate, two rows are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper part of the arched plate, and two rows are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the lower part of the arched plate.

[0010] The slope of the beveled surface is 1:1.5.

[0011] First, the present invention reduces the restriction of the buffer structure wall on the air flow through an inclined section, enabling the air in front of the high-speed train to flow upward and be released above the tunnel, thereby reducing the amount of compression waves generated when it enters the tunnel. Then, through the through-holes, the pressure waves generated when the high-speed train enters the present invention are transmitted to the pressure relief area. The pressure waves in the pressure relief area are reflected and consumed multiple times under the blocking effect between the inner surface of the buffer structure body and the outer surface of the arched plate, thereby greatly reducing the initial compression wave gradient and dissipating the compression wave energy to a greater extent, so as to more efficiently relieve the micro-pressure wave at the tunnel exit.
