Research on the In fluence of Aerodynamic Performance of High-speed Train Air Brake Blades by Wei WANG, Hongtai XIE, Yunfei WANG, Wei CHAI, Jingwu MA, Zhenfeng WU

“…Preliminary research shows that: ① When a single-row brake wing panel is installed on the roof of a 350 km/h high-speed train headway for emergency braking, the air brake resistance of the train will increase by approximately 45% compared with that without the wing panel, and the vertical lift will increase by approximately 70%; ② When using wind resistance braking, the maximum pressure and average pressure on the windward surface of the brake wing plate increase in the form of parabola from the far ambient pressure value with the increase of speed, and the minimum pressure decreases in the form of inverted parabola from the far ambient pressure value; ③ The installation position of the first row of wind wing panels is within 2 m of the streamlined tail joint at the front of the driver's cab, the air resistance of the train decreases as the distance increases, and the vertical lift is basically unchanged. …”
