| Sumario: | A pantograph mounted on a high-speed train roof is exposed to high-speed air flow while traveling, and lift force is generated in the pantograph. To ensure high current collecting performance of the pantograph, it is important to appropriately adjust the lift force generated in the pantograph. The flow velocity along the roof of a train has a significant influence on the lift force. In this study, we proposed a simple calculation method that enabled us to easily calculate the flow on the train roof in a tunnel using a personal computer. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed method, model experiments were carried out and calculation and experimental results were compared. Furthermore, the influence of hydraulic friction coefficients on train roof flow velocity was examined using the proposed method, which was not time consuming. |
