Global Modelisation of the Swissmetro Maglev Using a Numerical Platform
Since 1992, the Swissmetro project has the goal to build an underground high speed (400 km/h) Maglev system, with linear motor propulsion, contactless energy transmission in a tunnel with partial vacuum. The Swissmetro project is approaching a realization phase based on the following stages: (1) A global modelisation of the vehicle in a tunnel, including aerodynamic, mechanical, electromechanical and acoustical behaviour. (2) Preparation of an industrial development in relation with a test facility and a pilot track in Switzerland The paper describes the numerical platform and the vehicle structure. Validation process on aerodynamics is developed. Multi-physics approach, including heating, vibrations and noise is applied to different components.
