Effect of bogie fairing on aerodynamic and aeroacoustic behaviour of a high-speed train nose car
The influence of bogie fairing on the flow feature and aerodynamic noise performance of a high-speed train nose car model is studied based on large-eddy simulation combined with acoustic analogy approach. For the case having no fairing, the strong flow interactions and impingements occur around the bogie cavity region due to the mass addition and expulsion induced from the cavity leading edges. When a streamlined fairing is mounted outside the bogie cavity, the fluid entrainment and vortices evolvement within the bogie cavity are weakened and the shear layer impingement and flow separation outside the fairing are mitigated greatly. Thus the wall pressure fluctuations on the solid surfaces of geometries located within bogie cavity are decreased and the flow-induced noise is reduced noticeably. Based on the semi-anechoic wind tunnel measurements on a high-speed train nose car model without and with bogie fairing, it is found that the dominant sound source around bogie cavity moves from its central area to rear wall region and the aerodynamic noise is reduced effectively with a streamlined fairing mounted around the bogie cavity. The numerical predictions of aerodynamic noise are verified by the experimental measurements. The investigation would be beneficial for guiding the low-noise design and configuration optimization of a high-speed train bogie fairing.
