Computational and Wind Tunnel Experiment in High-Speed Ground Vehicle Aerodynamics
High speed ground transport vehicle (HSGT) aerodynamic characteristics are obtained on the base of numerical simulation and experimental investigation in a wind tunnel. Computational techniques for magnetically levitated transport vehicles are developed on the base of discrete vortex method and Navier-Stokes equations. Aerodynamic analysis of an up-to-date HSGT configuration made it possible to propose the aircraft-type shape for designing the promising magnetically levitated transport vehicles. To improve technical and economical properties of the magnetically levitated transport vehicle trapezoidal arrowhead low-aspect-ratio wing is suggested to use. Investigations showed that lifting properties of the arrowhead wing in the vicinity of track structure are sufficient at low drag.
