Introduction Trains running on open track generate aerodynamic loads on objects and persons they pass. If trains are being passed by other trains, trains are also subject to aerodynamic loading themselves. The aerodynamic loading caused by a train passing an object or a person near the track, or when two trains pass each other, depends mainly on the following parameters:  running speed of the train(s);  distance between the object and the train(s);  geometry of the train(s);  geometry of the object;  ambient wind effects. Trains running on open track have to overcome a resistance to motion. SIST EN 14067-4:2006+A1:2009

Key 1 Head of train passing 2 Tail of train passing Figure 1 — Pressure signal at a point on a vertical wall caused by train passing 5.2 Assessment by predictive formulae 5.2.1 General remarks and application When calculating the mechanical and fatigue strength of a structure, the aerodynamic loads to be taken into account shall be of an equivalent amplitude at the head, tail, and in the case of nose-to-nose coupled trains, at the coupler as well. This amplitude shall be the largest of the loads during the complete passing time of the train. These aerodynamic loads shall be applied in every case perpendicular to the surface of the structure. They are defined as characteristic pressure values. The following subclauses allow a determination of characteristic pressure values which are in line with those given graphically in EN 1991-2 but allow a wider range of application by use of formulae. It has to be emphasized that the given characteristic pressure values represent the maximum area-averaged (dynamic) loads on a structure. Since a train passing does not result in a static load, these characteristic values cannot be taken as maximum static loads. Fatigue calculations require additional information on the dynamic behaviour of the structure, the number of cycles, more detailed information on the dynamics of the train-induced pressure pulse, etc. SIST EN 14067-4:2006+A1:2009

Figure 2 — Load on flat vertical structures parallel to the tracks The characteristic values p1k of the distributed loads are determined from Equation (4). p112tr1k2Ckvpρ= (4) where Cp1 is the aerodynamic coefficient depending on the distance from track axis Y; k1 is a shape coefficient of the train. The factor Cp1 is obtained from Equation (5). SIST EN 14067-4:2006+A1:2009

Figure 3 — Load on flat horizontal structures above the tracks The values p2k of the distributed loads are determined from Equation (6). p222tr2k2Ckvpρ= (6) Here, k2 takes the same values as k1 given in 5.2.2. SIST EN 14067-4:2006+A1:2009

Figure 4 — Load on flat horizontal structures close to the tracks Values p3k of the loads which depend on Y are determined from Equation (8). SIST EN 14067-4:2006+A1:2009

Figure 5 — Load on mixed vertical and horizontal or inclined structures close to the tracks The equivalent loads are greater in this case than in the case of purely vertical or horizontal surfaces. These values shall be determined from Equation (4) in 5.2.2 except that the following distance should be used in Equation (5): maxmin4,06,0YYY+= (10) where Ymin is the minimum horizontal distance of the surface from the track axis; Ymax is the maximum horizontal distance of the surface from the track axis. If Ymax > 6 m, then Ymax = 6 m is assumed. 5.2.6 Closed structures enveloping the tracks over a limited length up to 20 m The following structures belong to this category:  structures containing a horizontal surface above the tracks and at least one vertical surface;  concrete mould (e.g. used during bridge deck construction);  provisional structures (e.g. service walkways); SIST EN 14067-4:2006+A1:2009

Figure 6 — Loads for vertical and horizontal surfaces of structures enclosing two tracks 5.2.7 Effect of wind on loads caused by the train If the effect of ambient wind has to be included in the estimate of the head pressure pulse during train passage, the wind speed component parallel to the track should be added to the train speed. 5.3 !!!!Assessment by numerical simulations 5.3.1 General The purpose of applying CFD is to determine the train head passing pressure pulse (peak-to-peak pressure change ∆p) adjacent to the front-end of a vehicle in the open air.

A ballast bed as specified in Figure 1 should be taken into account and extruded through the domain.
Figure 7 — Sketch of the wind tunnel configuration single track ballast (side view) 5.3.5 Computational domain sub-division The type of CFD method chosen dictates whether a volume discretisation or surface discretisation is used. The volume discretisation shall represent, with sufficient resolution, the flow regions where high pressure and velocity gradients are expected such as: boundary layers, shear layers, large vortical structures, stagnation zones, recirculation zones, separation bubbles, wakes etc. Particular regions of interest are e.g. the front end, the coupling device and the snowplough. The volume discretisation should meet basic requirements concerning wall units adjacent to no-slip walls, appropriate for the selected computational method and turbulence model. For RANS simulations, typical values for the dimensionless wall distance y+ to be used for the first cell layer should be of the order of 1 for low Reynolds number near-wall treatment, and typically 30 to 150 for high Reynolds number turbulence models using wall functions. The surface discretisation shall take into account the relevant pressure gradients and the surface geometry. The aerodynamic pressure shall be demonstrated to be sufficiently independent of the volume or surface discretisation used through appropriate sensitivity analyses (e.g. grid convergence study).
