Abstract

The influence mechanism of jet on aerodynamic noise control in the pantograph region at different sinking heights was numerically studied using an Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) model and the Ffowcs Williams-Hawkings (FW-H) equation. Active flow control was achieved by setting jet slots at the leading edge of the cavity to predict the noise generated by the jet itself. The results showed that in the pantograph region with a sinking height of 500 mm, the shear layer was lifted by the jet, which prevented high-speed turbulence caused by flow separation from entering the cavity. Therefore, the model with jet control device reduced the overall far-field noise on the side of the pantograph by 1.6 ∼ 3.9 dB. Through flow field analysis, for the pantograph region where flow separation occurs in the front of the cavity, the jet needs to lift the shear layer enough to cross the front of the pantograph and prevent flow separation, thereby reducing the aerodynamic noise. For the pantograph region without flow separation in the front of the cavity, the jet may introduce additional noise sources, deteriorating the aerodynamic noise in the pantograph region.
