Abstract [en]
Two different train geometries, the Aerodynamic Train Model (ATM) and the CRH1, are studied in order to compare the flow structures in the wake. The flow is simulated with Detached Eddy-Simulation and then decomposed into modes with Proper Orthogonal Decomposition. This study has found that the flow structures are indeed different for the two train models although the tails are rather similar. For the CRH1 the dominant flow structures twist one of the counter-rotating vortices and leaves the other straight. The convergence of the modes are investigated and it is shown that approximately the same number of snapshots are needed for both trains.
