Study on the effect of buffer structure opening rate on micro-pressure wave at the exit and entrance of 400 km/h high-speed railway tunnel
As the speed of high-speed trains increases,the issue of increased train-tunnel aerodynamic effects and micro-pressure waves exceeding the limits becomes increasingly serious.Previous studies have shown that the installation of buffer structures at tunnel openings is one of the effective means of solving the problem of micro-pressure waves.However,as tunnel lengths increase and train speeds rise,a design approach that solely relies on the entrance buffer structure becomes limited.In addition,both domestic and international research has focused more on entrance buffer structures and less on the design of exit buffer structures and buffer structures at both entrances and exits of tunnels.To address this issue,the key influencing parameters of the open exit buffer structure were analyzed using the controlled volume method.A three-dimensional numerical simulation model based on the LES turbulence model and dynamic grid technology was developed to verify the correctness of key parameters.The effect of symmetrical and asymmetrical buffer structures at tunnel entrances and exits on the characteristics of micro-pressure waves was also analyzed,and a design method for open-ended buffer structures suitable for single and double-line tunnels was proposed.The results show that:1)The opening ratio of the tunnel exit buffer structure is a key parameter affecting the efficiency of the exit buffer structure in relieving microwave pressure,the larger the opening ratio,the lower the maximum microwave pressure;2)The optimal buffer structure at the entrance of the tunnel is controlled by the pressure gradient,and the opening rate of the buffer structure at the exit of the tunnel is increased,resulting in a higher relief rate for micro-pressure waves in a single-line tunnel buffer structure design;3)The design of open-ended buffer structures in double-line tunnel should increase the total opening ratio and choose small,multiple openings with symmetrical entrances and exits.
