Abstract
The improved delayed detached eddy simulation (IDDES) was used to study the influence of the platoon configuration of trains on its aerodynamic performance. CFD simulations were validated against the wind tunnel test and different mesh refinement to further verify the flow field around the high-speed train. The platoon configuration mainly affects the aerodynamic forces of the tail car of the front train (car3) and the head car of the rear train (car4) through flow interference. The surface pressure distribution of the train and the time domain and frequency domain characteristics of the aerodynamic force under different spacing are analyzed, and the changing law of the aerodynamic force and the lateral stability of the trains are summarized. The boundary layer and slipstream of trains in platoon are also compared with those of single trains. Meanwhile, both the time-averaged and instantaneous near-wake structures are compared for different cases.
