Abstract

To reduce the aerodynamic drag of high speed trains, aerodynamic drag of KTX-Sancheon was analyzed in detail according to individual components. Aerodynamic drag values of the power cars (front car, rear car) and bogies are about 42.9% and 10.1% of the total aerodynamic drag, respectively. For the aerodynamic drag reduction of a power-car, a nose shape optimization was conducted using the Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno optimum method. Shape change of a power car and bogie fairing adaptation are used to reduce the aerodynamic drag of a car body. The aerodynamic drag of the optimized train-set dropped by 15.0% compared to the aerodynamic drag of the KTX-Sancheon; a running resistance reduction of 12% is expected at the speed of 350km/h.

고속열차의 공기저항 저감을 위해 KTX-산천의 구성요소별 공기저항을 상세하게 분석하였다. 전체 공기저항의 약 42.9%는 동력차(선두차, 후미차)에서 그리고 약 10.1%는 대차에서 유발되는 것으로 나타났다. 전두부의 공기저항 저감을 위해 Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno 기법을 이용한 전두부 최적설계를 수행하였다. 그리고 차체 공기저항 저감을 위해 동력차 형상 변화 및 대차커버를 적용하였다. 공기저항 저감을 위해 최적설계된 편성열차의 공기저항은 KTX-산천 대비 약 15.0% 저감되었으며, 주행저항은 속도 350km/h에서 약 12% 감소될 것으로 예상된다.
