Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of model construction, and in particular to an aerodynamic force prediction method and prediction system based on train shape parameters. Background Art
[0002] Under strong crosswinds, the aerodynamic performance of high-speed trains deteriorates dramatically, leading not only to a rapid increase in drag, lateral force, and lift, but even, in severe cases, to overturning. Furthermore, the train's shape, including its cross-sectional area, body length, body height, and head shape, is a significant factor influencing the aerodynamic loads on trains subjected to crosswinds. However, traditional research methods for analyzing train crosswind performance often only consider single-variable conditions, and the mechanisms by which the coupling of different characteristic variables affects train aerodynamic loads remain unclear. Therefore, it is necessary to establish a train aerodynamic prediction method that can be applied under different characteristic parameters to rapidly determine the dynamics of train aerodynamic loads under unconventional conditions. To this end, a mapping relationship between different characteristic parameters and train aerodynamic loads is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0056] See Figure 1-11 The present application provides an aerodynamic force prediction method based on train shape parameters, including:
[0057] A coordinate system is constructed based on the target train's shape, and the target train's nose height, streamline length, body height, body width, track clearance, and uniform cross-section body length are obtained.
[0058] An ideal train model is constructed, and an ideal train shape model is constructed based on the ideal train model and the coordinate system.
[0059] An actual train shape model is constructed according to the nose height, the streamline length, the vehicle body height, the vehicle body width, the vehicle-rail gap, and the coordinate system.
[0060] A final train shape model is constructed based on the ideal train shape model and the actual train shape model.
[0061] The cross-sectional area, lateral projection area and top projection area of the lead car of the target train are obtained according to the final train shape model.
[0062] The incoming wind speed and air density of the target train during its travel are obtained, and the leading vehicle resistance, lateral force, and lift at different sideslip angles are obtained using the incoming wind speed, the air density, and the final train shape model.
[0063] The actual value of the aerodynamic coefficient of the target train is calculated by using the lead vehicle resistance, the lateral force, the lift, the cross-sectional area of the lead vehicle, the lateral projection area, and the top projection area.
[0064] The embodiment can be specifically divided into three steps:
[0065] (1) Establish a method for constructing the aerodynamic shape of a train with a multi-element cross design.
[0066] A simplified train model is used, consisting of a three-car formation consisting of a lead car, a middle car, and a tail car, and is based on a high-speed train model (see Figure 2 ), solid modeling is performed based on the train's shape parameters. Six design variables are selected here: nose height, streamline length, body height, body width, track gap, and uniform cross-section body length (corresponding to variables h1, L1, h2, w, h m , L2) to construct the train model. Table 1 gives the value range of each design variable, stipulating that the length of each vehicle (L) is equal and ranges from 20m to 30m.
[0067] Table 1: Design variable value range
[0068]
[0069] Since the cross-section of the straight section of the train is the same, Figure 3 Only the contour curve of the streamlined head is given. The length of the streamlined head can be controlled by the variable L1, and the end section of the streamlined head can be stretched to a length L2 to generate a train body with a uniform cross-section. First, based on the principle of generating an ideal train model, overall control is achieved to preliminarily generate the train's outer contour. The cross-sectional profile of the ideal train is expressed by equation (1), where c varies along the streamlined head section in a semi-elliptical profile; the major axis of the ellipse equation is 2L1, and the minor axis is w; approaching the nose of the train, n decreases uniformly from 5 to 2.
[0070] |y| n +|z| n =c n (1)
[0071] Then, based on the design parameters and outline of the prototype train, a series of coordinate points on the contour curves Line 1 and Line 2 are extracted to construct the contour function equations (2) and (3). Equation (2) represents the change in the maximum half-width of the streamlined head along the longitudinal direction. Since the train is symmetrical about the x-axis, the functional expressions of the positive and negative maximum half-widths are the same. Equation (3) represents the maximum height change of the streamlined head above the nose of the train. Since the bottom of the train can be approximated as a plane, the height change below the nose of the train is expressed by the constant h1–h m To express.
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] By using the above contour curve equation to transform the train's shape, we can roughly achieve the longitudinal development of the train's shape. Next, we need to control the cross-sectional profile of the train to achieve the overall change of the train. Since the train is a symmetrical model, only half of the train's cross-sectional profile needs to be modeled. The control equations are as follows (4), (5), and (6). and Respectively represent the final cross-section coordinates after adjustment. Finally, the train shape generated by the line function is compared with the prototype train. Figure 4 .

[0077]
[0078] (2) Establish a multi-parameter coupled train aerodynamic load data sample library.
[0079] The optimal Latin hypercube experimental design method is used to sample the design space. A total of 50 groups of sample points are designed. The spatial distribution of the normalized data sampling points is as follows: Figure 5 As shown in Figure 2. Since the leading car of a train is subject to the largest aerodynamic force and is the most dangerous in a strong wind environment, only the leading car is analyzed here. As shown in equations (7)–(9), the aerodynamic coefficient includes the drag coefficient C d , lateral force coefficient C s and lift coefficient C l . F d is the lead vehicle resistance, F s is the lateral force, F l is the lift. d , A s and A lThe cross-sectional area, side projection area and top projection area of the train model head car are generated by the function control method in step (1). f The speed is 60m / s and the air density ρ is 1.225kg / m3. The present invention selects a sideslip angle of 30° for analysis. Table 2 shows the aerodynamic coefficient results of the lead vehicle under different parameter combinations.

[0085]
[0086] (3) A method for predicting train aerodynamic forces under the influence of different shape parameters is proposed.
[0087] First, a support vector machine (SVM) regression algorithm was used to predict the train's drag coefficient, and the Gaussian radial basis function (Equation (10)) was selected as the kernel function of the regression model. A genetic algorithm was also used to quickly and efficiently select the optimal hyperparameter combination to improve the accuracy of the prediction model. The genetic algorithm population size and maximum number of generations were both 200. An elite strategy was applied, with the number of elite individuals set to 2. A tournament strategy was used as the selection function, with the number of elite individuals set to 2. The two-point function and the uniform function were set as the crossover function and mutation function, respectively, with the crossover probability and mutation probability being 0.85 and 0.01, respectively. The remaining parameters were set to their default values.
[0088] K(x i ,x)=exp(-g||x i -x|| 2 ) (10)
[0089] 80% of the sample data generated by the experimental design was randomly selected as the training set, and the remaining 20% was used as the test set. An eight-fold cross-validation method was used to improve the robustness and generalization ability of the prediction model. Using MATLAB software, the optimal parameter combination for the drag coefficient prediction model was obtained: penalty factor C = 9.9723, kernel parameter g = 0.1965, and the final mean square error (MSE) of the training process was 7.23 × 10⁻4. Figure 6 is the regression curve between the predicted value and the target value of the drag coefficient. The correlation coefficients (R2) of the training set and the test set are 0.9984 and 0.9889 respectively. Figure 7As shown in the figure, the errors between the predicted values and the target values of the training set and the test set are both less than 5%, which means that the SVM regression model constructed above has good prediction performance and can well predict the train resistance coefficient.
[0090] Referring to the drag coefficient prediction model construction process described above, the same method was used to construct the side force coefficient and lift coefficient prediction models. Based on the same genetic algorithm parameter settings, the optimal parameter combination for the side force coefficient prediction model was determined to be: penalty factor C = 9.9644, kernel parameter g = 0.2136, and the final mean square error (MSE) of the training process was 7.11 × 10⁻¹⁴. The optimal parameter combination for the lift coefficient prediction model was: penalty factor C = 9.5752, kernel parameter g = 0.3538, and the final mean square error (MSE) of the training process was 1.97 × 10⁻¹³. Figure 8 and Figure 10 The regression curves between the predicted values and target values of the side force and lift coefficient are shown in Figure 2. The correlation coefficients (R2) of the training set are all higher than 0.99, and the correlation coefficients (R2) of the test set are all higher than 0.97. Figure 9 and Figure 11 It shows that the errors between the predicted values and the target values of the training and test sets of the lateral force and lift coefficient are both less than 5%, which shows that the constructed prediction model can well predict the train lateral force and lift coefficient.
