Abstract

The problem of ice and snow splashing in severe cold areas has a direct impact on the safety of high-speed railway operation. Field investigation found that multiple ice blocks fell off and hit the transponder, but this research has not been reported in the literature at home and abroad. In this paper, the DEM-MFBD-CFD coupling analysis method is used to establish the model of the ice-shedding hitting transponder on the floor of the carriage, and the reliability of the model is verified by the wind tunnel and field test results. Based on the established analysis model, the influence of different train speeds, wind pressure changes, ice mass and other factors on the force of transponder striking is studied. The results show that the maximum stress on the transponder increases exponentially with the train speed. When the train speed increases to 350 km / h, the maximum stress reaches 15.591 MPa, which is about 3.5 times that of 150 km / h. With the increase of ice mass, the maximum stress of the transponder increases rapidly and then increases slowly. When the crosswind wind speed is 5 ~ 20 m / s, the maximum stress on the surface of the transponder is not much different, indicating that the effect of the crosswind on the ice and snow hitting the transponder is negligible. In order to reduce the harm of snow and ice splashing on the transponder, measures such as snow melting and train speed reduction can be taken.
