Abstract

The resistance to motion of the Korean next-generation high-speed train (HEUM-430X) was assessed on the basis of 12 coasting test runs at coasting speeds up to approximately 380km/h. Two different methods, a linear regression method and a time-integral method, were employed to calculate decelerations from the time-velocity data and the time-distance data, respectively, and an equation of resistance to motion was devised from the deceleration data calculated at each time section. The effect of an improvement of the aerodynamic shape on the resistance to motion was investigated, with the results showing that the running resistance was reduced by about 15% due to these improvements. An increase of approximately 28% of the running resistance was also noted when running in a tunnel relative to running through an open field.

차세대 한국형 고속열차(HEMU-430X)의 주행저항을 타행속도 380km/h에 이르는 고속 타행을 포함한 총 12회의 타행시험 결과를 이용하여 평가하였다. 선형회귀법과 시간적분법의 두 가지 방법을 이용하여 각각 시간-속도 곡선 및 시간-거리 곡선으로부터 가속도를 계산하였으며, 각각의 구간에서 계산된 가속도를 바탕으로 시험 속도 대역에서 근사화된 주행저항식이 도출되었다. 이를 통해 공기역학적 형상 개선에 의해 주행저항이 15% 정도 감소하였고, 터널 주행 시에는 개활지 주행 시에 비하여 약 28%의 주행저항이 증가하는 것으로 평가되었다.
