Wind tunnel test study on influence of open/close operation on aerodynamic noise characteristics of high-speed pantographs
Wind tunnel tests of aerodynamic noise at wind speeds from 160 km/h to 324 km/h were carried out for high speed pantograph developed by Beijing CRRC CED Co.Ltd.The effects of wind speed and open/close operation status on pantograph aerodynamic noise characteristics were analyzed,and the pantograph aerodynamic noise at higher speed was predicted.The results show that the aerodynamic noise of the pantograph and its propagation characteristics are closely related to the wind speed and operating status.The panhead and nearby areas are prone to single-tone noise due to the influence of shedding vortices.The total sound pressure energy of the far-field noise increases with the power of 5.6-6.0 of wind speed.The total sound pressure levels of the pantograph far-field noise in the open/closed state are predicted to be about 106.8 dB and 106.6 dB respectively at the wind speed of 400 km/h by data fitting.
