Abstract
The high-speed maglev train can operate at speeds exceeding 600 km/h, generating intense micro-pressure waves at tunnel exits when passing through tunnels. To mitigate this issue, a tunnel-installed resonant cavity structure is proposed in this study. Numerical simulations are performed to analyze its aerodynamic mitigation characteristics, and both numerical comparisons and moving model tests are adopted to verify the mitigation effect on micro-pressure waves. The results demonstrate that the resonant cavity can dissipate compression wave energy and reduce the pressure gradient, thus significantly weakening the micro-pressure wave at the tunnel portal. The mitigation efficiencies at 20 m and 50 m from the tunnel exit reach 41.87% and 40.15%, respectively. Moving model tests further validate the accuracy of the optimal scheme determined by numerical simulation.
