This application discloses a
simulation and optimization design method for a
snow plow for EMUs based on multi-
physics field
coupling. Efficient
snow plow design is achieved through three stages: physical modeling, experimental
verification, and parameter optimization. The method collects environmental parameters for line snowfall and
snow density, establishes a soft-ball dynamics model for snow particles based on the
Hertz-Mindlin with JK R Cohesion
contact model, and simulates the wall-covering snow process using a discrete
phase model. The
simulation accuracy is verified through
snow removal experiments. A parameterized snow plow model is constructed, and shape parameters are introduced to modify the driving resistance coefficient, evaluate
snow removal performance, and select the optimal geometric parameter combination. The vehicle model is constructed by integrating the front end, modifying the
snow removal resistance formula under multi-body
coupling, and generating snow plow selection recommendations. Simulating different snow depth and speed conditions, a correlation model is established, and the maximum safe vehicle speed threshold that meets operational constraints is output. Through multi-
physics field
coupling simulation and parameter optimization, the limitations of traditional design relying on experience are overcome, achieving coordinated optimization of snow removal efficiency,
driving safety, and structural strength.
