Abstract

In order to establish the rapid traffic economic circle in Xinjiang province, there is a plan to operate the EMU (Electric Multiple Units) in Nanjiang normal-speed railway line. But there is few standard and experience that the EMU running on the normal-speed railway under strong wind. Therefore, the present work conducts a full-scale test to research the safety of the EMU running on the normal-speed railway to obtain the train aerodynamic and system dynamic performance. Furthermore, the part of deteriorate reasons of train aerodynamic performance is studied by the CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) method. In the next step, based on the experimental and CFD results, the disadvantage of current windproof facility will be found and improved to satisfy the requirement of the operation safety of the EMU.
