This project aims to enhance the accuracy of aerodynamic force predictions for trains in crosswinds using advanced computational techniques. It combines wind tunnel experiments and numerical modeling to address the impact of surface roughness on lift force estimation.
A European-wide move to standardize the criteria for certification of railway vehicles has lead to the development of regulations for rail operators regarding velocities and pressures generated by trains and on train in cross winds.
There are two approved methodologies currently used in these regulations; physical modeling using the wind tunnel experiments and numerical modeling using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) techniques.
Although there are different types of CFD techniques, yet all of…
