One of the problems with the aerodynamic sound, noise reduction along a railway line is significant engineering issue for further speed-up of a high-speed train. In particular, a pantograph is one of the main aerodynamic noise sources of a high-speed train. As one of the methods for the aerodynamic noise reduction, this study proposes the tapered cylinder by a pantograph. In this paper, the aerodynamic sound and the wake flow of the combinational inclined circular cylinder and tapered cylinder are experimentally and numerically investigated in knuckle upstream and knuckle downstream. Also, we suggest that the surface of grooves such as wood grain interacts with the aerodynamic sound generated from the model. Here, it is considered that the comparison of aerodynamic sound between the model with grooves and without grooves. Consequently, reduction of the maximum aerodynamic sound is possible for the tapered cylinder in the case of knuckle downstream. Furthermore, the noise reduction method is effective that the model surface with grooves such as wood grain.展开更多

It is found that the peak sound spectrum of the Aeolian tone from the semi-circular cylinder is smaller than that from the circular cylinder and the lowest sound is observed around the zero angle of attack. This is due to the reduction in the fluctuating lift force on the semi-circular cylinder compared to that of the circular cylinder. This result suggests the validity of the analogy between the sound pressure level and the fluctuating lift force on a semi-circular cylinder in a stream. The flow visualization study also supports these results.展开更多
