Unsteady FW-H simulation of aerodynamic noise of a high speed train bogie

Contribution du bruit d’origine aérodynamique généré par les bogies

La réduction des émissions de gaz à effet de serre des secteurs du transport passe par une augmentation du trafic ferroviaire. En 2020, la Commission Européenne a défini des objectifs : doublement du trafic haute vitesse en 2030, triplement en 2050 (ref. Europe’s Rail Joint Undertaking, Master Plan, October 2021). Dans ce contexte, le contribution du bruit aérodynamique des trains va se renforcer en comparaison du bruit de roulement.  Ce papier présente des méthodes de calcul afin d’estimer la contribution du bruit d’origine aérodynamique généré par les bogies.

ABSTRACT

Aerodynamic noise is generated by interaction of the air flow with an object and by the turbulent flow itself. In railways it becomes a significant noise source for speeds above 250 kph and major areas of noise generation on trains, in particular high speed trains, are the train head, the leading and second bogie, the pantograph and the gaps between trailers.

This paper presents a numerical simulation approach based on CFD/CAA techniques aiming to predict aerodynamic noise of different components of SNCF’s TGV high speed trains.

The approach is based on an unsteady DES flow simulation combined with the Ffowcs-Williams and Hawkins (FW-H) analogy for the acoustic part. In order to develop the method different models are implemented and the leading bogie was selected as an application case. A simplified symmetric model will be compared against a full, higher resolved model in order to see if computation time gains are feasible. Results of this simulation, in terms of sound power and directivity, are already used by SNCF noise experts in order to estimate pass-by noise levels of TGV high speed trains at the noise emission point.
