| Summary: | Based on the theory of uniform finite-length incoherent line source radiation and real vehicle online test data of Shanghai Maglev trains, a prediction model for environmental noise is established using an equivalent segmented line sound source approach. The noise produced by Shanghai high-speed Maglev trains running at speeds of 235, 300, and 430 km/h is tested and analyzed using microphones. The test data are combined with computational fluid dynamics simulations to divide the train’s sound sources equally into five sections. Theoretical calculations are carried out on the noise test data collected as the train passes by, and the source strength of each individual sub-sound source during the train operation is determined using the least-squares method. As a result, a prediction model for the environmental noise of high-speed Maglev trains, represented as a combination of multiple sources, is developed. The predicted results are compared with the measured values to validate the accuracy of the model. The proposed model can be used for environmental assessments before new train lines are launched, allowing for appropriate mitigation measures to be taken in advance to reduce the impact of Maglev noise on the surrounding residential and ecological environments. |
