Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of high-speed train aerodynamics and EMU equipment, specifically to an engineering estimation method for the aerodynamic characteristics of high-speed train lifting wings and wing-car cooperative aerodynamic characteristics. Background Technology

[0002] As operating speeds increase, wheel wear on wheel-rail trains will intensify, inevitably shortening wheel refinishing cycles and service life. To reduce the total life-cycle cost of trains at higher speeds, a high-speed train concept with lifting wings has been proposed. This concept breaks through the traditional aerodynamic design philosophy of high-speed trains, combining the advantages of both high-speed trains and aircraft. The aim is to increase the aerodynamic lift of the train, thereby achieving overall energy conservation and emission reduction.

[0003] In the late 20th century, Tohoku University in Japan first proposed the design concept of an "aerodynamic levitation train." This concept utilizes ground effect wings placed near the ground to enhance lift and provide the train with lift. Preliminary design studies were conducted on the airfoils used in aerodynamic levitation trains, concluding that their transport efficiency would be higher than that of maglev trains and high-speed commercial airliners. An experimental aerodynamic levitation train model was built, and a conceptual design scheme incorporating lifting wings was proposed, featuring "airplane-like wings" on the roof and sides of the train. Several alternative airfoils were also identified. These studies demonstrate that designing lifting wings with excellent aerodynamic characteristics is crucial for the technology of lifting wing trains. To date, various design schemes have been proposed to achieve this goal, such as the Chinese utility model patent with authorization announcement number CN113602299B, entitled "A Telescopic Wing Device for Aerodynamic Regulation of High-Speed ​​Trains, High-Speed ​​Trains and Control Methods"; authorization announcement number CN210133111U, entitled "A Side Wing Lift Control Mechanism for High-Speed ​​Rail Transit Trains"; and authorization announcement numbers CN202175052U and CN202175053U, which disclose a high-speed train wing device. However, overall, these schemes have not been fully integrated with the actual development of high-speed trains, particularly in terms of the design scheme of the lifting wing structure, installation arrangement, control method, and practical application, which are essentially nonexistent. Therefore, in the current context of my country's large-scale development of high-speed intelligent and green railway equipment, developing and deploying a high-speed train lifting wing device that offers significant lift enhancement, low drag coefficient, low aerodynamic noise, small installation space, high applicability to existing high-speed trains, intelligent control, and effective handling of complex wind environments is one of the urgent problems to be solved in the current efforts to accelerate the operation of high-speed trains and implement energy conservation and emission reduction in the development of green railway equipment.

[0004] Lifting wings utilize air as the primary braking power source for high-speed trains during high-speed operation, regulating lift. Their braking stability and safety are directly affected by external wind conditions. When high-speed trains equipped with lifting wing devices operate, the aerodynamic effects become increasingly pronounced with increasing speed and crosswind intensity, leading to a sharp deterioration in aerodynamic performance. Both lateral aerodynamic force and lift increase non-linearly, and the resulting aerodynamic loads severely impact the train's track dynamics, potentially causing derailment, overturning, and fatalities. As an auxiliary lift enhancement device for high-speed trains, the optimal applicable speed range is 400 km / h and above. Higher speeds result in greater effective aerodynamic lift and more pronounced aerodynamic effects. Aerodynamic characteristics are typically assessed and calculated through wind tunnel or track testing, but these methods are costly and challenging, making multi-condition adaptability research for lifting wing applications difficult. Therefore, based on finite fundamental theories, numerical simulations, and experimental tests, this invention conducts a general assessment and calculation of the aerodynamic characteristics of high-speed train lifting wings and their cooperative layout optimization on high-speed trains. It proposes an engineering estimation method for the aerodynamic characteristics of high-speed train lifting wings and wing-vehicle cooperative aerodynamic characteristics, which is a necessary condition for the development and application of lifting wing devices. Summary of the Invention

The overall structure of the lifting wing is symmetrically and smoothly transitioned to the left and right sides along the central wing section. It is movably connected to the lifting wing control mechanism on the roof of the high-speed train by installing a lifting frame, which can adapt to and meet the selection of multiple angles of attack of the lifting wing.

[0009] The specific engineering estimation method for the aerodynamic characteristics of the lifting wing and wing-vehicle cooperative aerodynamic characteristics of high-speed trains includes the following steps:

[0010] 1) Engineering estimation of lift coefficient and lateral distribution characteristics of high-speed train lifting wing profile:

Lmax0 The maximum lift coefficient C of the airfoil at both ends of the high-speed train's lifting wing Lmax1 The formula for calculating the project estimate is: C Lmax =k s (C Lmax0 +C Lmax1 ) / 2; where the coefficient k is used to estimate the lift wings that are laterally symmetrically arranged on the roof of the high-speed train. s The range is 0.75 to 0.85; for the laterally symmetrically arranged lifting wings with a sweep angle on the roof of high-speed trains, the estimation coefficient k is taken. s The range is 0.86 to 0.95;

[0026] 3) Determination of the aerodynamic drag characteristics of the lifting wing of the high-speed train:

[0027] The aerodynamic drag coefficient C of the high-speed train's lifting wing D Engineering estimates equal zero-liter aerodynamic drag coefficient C D0and the drag coefficient C DL The sum, expressed as: C D =C D0 +C DL The zero-lift aerodynamic drag coefficient C is mentioned above. D0 The engineering estimation uses parameters at the average chord length of the lifting wing of the high-speed train for calculation, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0029] In the formula, C F y is the frictional drag coefficient for winglets with equal chord lengths; t is the relative thickness of the winglet, representing the maximum dimensionless height between the upper and lower chords of the winglet, i.e., t = max[y]. u (x)-y d [x], where y u (x) represents the relative coordinates of the upper arc of the lifting wing, y d (x) represents the relative coordinates of the lower chord; k a k is an empirical constant, estimated to range from 0.15 to 0.2. b This is an empirical constant, and its estimated value range is 0.41 to 0.5.

[0030] The lift-induced drag coefficient C DL In engineering estimation, it equals the induced aerodynamic drag coefficient plus the viscous pressure drag coefficient C. Dn The sum of C Di The calculation formula is: C DL =C Di +C Dn ;

[0032] 4) Quantitative assessment of the interference effect of high-speed train lifting wing:

[0033] 41) Calculation of the aerodynamic interference coefficient of the series lifting wings on the roof of the high-speed train: The aerodynamic interference coefficient of the series lifting wings on the roof of the high-speed train is obtained by considering the longitudinal aerodynamic drag F of the series wings. D To characterize this, the calculation formula is as follows:

[0034]

[0035] In the formula, C d0 The aerodynamic drag coefficient of a single lifting wing on the vehicle roof is given; the engineering estimation uses a single-set deployment case. (C) d1 (i) represents the direct interference coefficient of the i-th lifting wing from front to back in the windward direction; A d ρ is the longitudinal projected area of ​​the lifting wing device; n is the number of sets of tandem lifting wings installed; ρ is the air density of the operating environment; v is the operating speed of the high-speed train equipped with lifting wings.

[0036] 42) Calculation of the interference effect between the lifting wings and the train on a high-speed train equipped with lifting wings:

[0037] The interference effect of the lifting wing on the high-speed train equipped with the lifting wing and the train is estimated by engineering through the overall aerodynamic cooperative lift coefficient of the two, and the calculation formula is as follows:

[0038] C Lt =(L ws +L sw ) / (0.5ρv 2 S0), where: L ws The lift generated by the lifting wing is designed to be compatible with high-speed trains; L sw The lift generated by the high-speed train is taken into account for the lifting wing; S0 is the projected area of ​​the lifting wing in the vertical direction of the high-speed train;
