Experimental analysis for aerodynamic drag of the electric locomotives
Journal Title: INCAS BULLETIN - Year 2013, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to make a comparative analysis on the influence of the aerodynamic drag, in case of the electric rail vehicles for a series of situations encountered in exploitation. The article presents experimental results obtained following a geometric modelling at scale 1: 12, on a modular model for the electric locomotives LE 060EA 5100kW and LE-MA 060 TransMontana 6000kW. Tests were made at INCAS (National Institute for Aerospace Research “Elie Carafoli”) in the subsonic wind tunnel.

Discrete Adjoint-Based Simultaneous Analysis and Design Approach for Conceptual Aerodynamic Optimization
In this paper, a simultaneous analysis and design method is derived and applied for a non-linear constrained aerodynamic optimization problem. The method is based on the approach of defining a Lagrange functional based o...
Nearest Wall Flows – the Genuine Turbulence
Traditionally, the wall-bounded flows are boundary-layer like flows where the velocity gradients normal to the wall u/y are very large and the velocity monotonously increases from zero to about the velocity free flow,...
A Numerical Solution for the Lifting Surface Integral Equation
In this paper, we present a new numerical treatment of the lifting surface integral equation (LSIE) in the case of rectangular wing planform. The kernel of this equation possesses a strong singularity in Hadamard sense....
