Due to the fast development of high-speed rail (HSR) around the world, high-speed trains (HSTs) are becoming a strong competitor against airliners in terms of long-distance travel. Compared with airliner cabins, HST cabins have much larger window sizes. When the big windows provide better lighting and view of the scenery, they also have significant effects on the thermal conditions in the cabins due to the solar radiation through them. This study presents a numerical study on the solar radiation on the thermal comfort in a typical HST cabin. The effect of solar radiation was discussed in terms of airflow pattern, temperature distribution and thermal comfort indices. Parametric studies with seven different daytime hours were carried out. The effect of using the roller curtain was also studied. The overall cabin air temperature, especially near passengers, was found to have significantly increased by solar radiation. Passengers sitting next to windows were recorded to have an obvious thermal comfort variation at different hours of the day. To improve the passengers’ comfort and reduce energy consumption during hot weather, the use of a curtain could effectively reduce the solar radiation effect in the cabin environment.

This paper describes the results of numerical work to determine the flow structures of the slipstream and wake of a high speed train on platforms of underground rail station using three-dimensional compressible Euler equation. The simulations were carried out on a model of a simplified three-coach train and typical cross-section of Chinese high-speed railway tunnel. A number of issues were observed: change process of slipstreams, longitudinal and horizontal distribution characteristics of train wind. Localized velocity peaks were obtained near the nose of the train and in the near wake region. Maximum and minimum velocity values were also noticed near to the nose rear tip. These structures extended for a long distance behind the train in the far wake flow. The slipstream in platform shows the typical three-dimensional characteristics and the velocity is about 4 m/s at 6 m away from the edge of platform.

To match, test, and determine the working conditions and correctness of each function of the aircraft measurement system. This article proposes a design of equivalent test platform which can produce digital and analog signals for the self-testing of measurement system. By using the ethernet protocol chip W5300 to achieve the high-speed communication between host computer and equivalent device. Communication uses UDP unicast data transfer mode with advantages of high-speed and long-distance transmission, and the Phenomenon of data packet loss is not easy in transmission.

Gasoline Direct Injection (GDI) systems have become a rapidly developing technology taking up a considerableand rapidly growing share in the Gasoline Engine market due to the thermodynamic advantages of direct injection. The process of spray formation and propagation from a fuel injector is very crucial in optimizing the air-fuel mixture of DI engines. Previous studies have shown that the presence of some cavitation in high-pressure fuel nozzles can lead to better atomization of the fluid. However, under some very specific circumstances, high levels of cavitation can also delay the atomization process; spray stabilization due to hydraulic flip is the most well-known example. Therefore, a better understanding of cavitation behavior is of vital importance for further optimization of next generation fuel injectors.In contrast to the abundance of investigations conducted on the inner flow and cavitation patterns of diesel injectors, corresponding in-depth research on the inner flow of gasoline direct-injection nozzles is still relatively scarce. In this study, the results of an experiment performed on real-size GDI injector nozzles made of acrylic glass are presented. The inner flow of the nozzle is visualized using a high-power pulsed laser, a long-distance microscope and a high- speed camera. The ambiguity of dark areas on the images, which may represent cavitation regions as well as ambient air drawn into the nozzle holes, is resolved by injecting the fuel both into a fuel or gas filled environment. In addition, the influence of backpressure on the transient flow characteristics of the internal flow is investigated. In good agreement with observations made in previous studies, higher backpressure levels decrease the amount of cavitation inside the nozzles. Due to the high temporal and spatial resolution of the experiment, the transient cavitation behavior during the opening, quasi-steady and closing phases of the injector needle motion can be analyzed. For example, it is found that cavitation patterns oscillate with a characteristic frequency that depends on the backpressure. The link between cavitation and air drawn into the nozzle at the beginning of injection is alsorevealed.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.4995/ILASS2017.2017.4639
