Application of CFD to Rail Car and Locomotive Aerodynamics

  • Chapter
The Aerodynamics of Heavy Vehicles II: Trucks, Buses, and Trains

Part of the book series: Lecture Notes in Applied and Computational Mechanics ((LNACM,volume 41))

Abstract

CFD methods have been employed to solve a number of efficiency, safety and operational problems related to the aerodynamics of rail cars and locomotives. This paper reviews three case studies: 1) numerical models were employed to quantify the drag characteristics of two external railcar features; namely, well car side-posts and inter-platform gaps. The effects of various design modifications on train resistance and fuel usage were evaluated. 2) An operational safety issue facing railroad operators is wind-induced tip-over. A study was completed using CFD and wind tunnel tests to develop a database of tip-over tendencies for a variety of car types within the Norfolk Southern fleet. The use of this database in the development of a speed restricting system for the Sandusky Bay Bridge is also discussed. 3) Another safety issue involves the behavior of diesel exhaust plumes in the vicinity of locomotive cabs. Numerical simulations were performed for a variety of locomotives operating under a number of ambient conditions (wind speed, wind direction). The concentration of diesel exhaust at the operator cab window was quantified. Where appropriate, the studies provide information on the correlation of the CFD results with previously collected wind tunnel and field data.
