Aerodynamic Noise Reduction Analysis in High-Speed Train Cab

In order to reduce aerodynamic noise in high-speed train cab,the SEA model of cab is established. The fluctuation pressures from train head surface are calculated by large eddy simulation method. Using fluctuation pressure as excitation force, power flow caused by airflow among sub-systems of SEA model of cab is obtained. Two schemes are put forward to reduce the aerodynamic noise in cab, namely interior decoration modification and windowpane thickness increase. The results show that when a layer of splint with 0.01 m thickness, 0.5 loss factor is added to the original decoration in cab, the overall sound pressure level (SPL) at driver head location will reduce 1.23 dB(A). When the cab windowpane thickness is increased to 5 mm from 4 mm, the overall SPL at the driver head location will reduce 0.87 dB(A).
