Abstract

The pressure wave formed by the piston effects of the train proceeds within the tunnel when a train enters the tunnel with a high speed. Depending on the condition of tunnel exit, the compression waves reflect at a open end, change to the expansion waves, transfer to tunnel entrance back. Due to interference in the pressure waves and running train, passengers experience severe pressure fluctuations. And these pressure waves result in energy loss, noise, vibration, as well as in the passengers’ ears. In this study, we performed comparison between numerical analysis and field experiments about the characteristics of the pressure waves transport in tunnel that appears when the train enter a tunnel and the variation of pressure penetrating into the train staterooms according to blockage ratio of train. In addition, a comparative study was carried out with the ThermoTun program to examine the applicability of the compressible 1-D model(based on the Method of Characteristics). Furthermore examination for the adequacy of the governing equations analysis based on compressible 1-D numerical model by Baron was examined.

열차가 고속으로 터널내를 진입할 때 열차의 피스톤 작용에 의해 형성되는 압력파는 터널내를 진행하고, 출구에 도달한 압축파는 터널 출구면의 개구단 조건에 따라 팽창파로 터널입구로 다시 전파된다. 이에 따른 터널내 주행열차와의 간섭현상으로 인해 차량내 승객은 심한 압력변동을 느끼게 되며, 이러한 압력파는 열차의 설계와 운행에 영향을 미치고, 에너지 손실과 소음, 진동, 승객의 이명현상의 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 열차가 고속으로 터널내부를 진입시 나타나는 터널내 압력파의 전파특성과 열차의 기밀도에 따른 객실내로 침투하는 압력 변화량을 현장 실험내용과 비교분석을 수행하였다. 또한, 압축성 1-D 모델(MOC)의 적용 가능성을 살펴보기 위해 ThermoTun 프로그램과의 비교연구를 수행하였고, Baron의 압축성 1-D 수치모델에 기초한 지배방정식 해석의 적정성을 검토하기 위해 비교연구도 병행하였다.
