Abstract

To investigate the influence of snow particle rotational motion on the accumulation of snow in the bogie region of high-speed trains, an Euler‒Lagrange numerical approach is adopted. The study examines the effects of snow particle diameter and train speed on the ensuing dynamics. It is shown that considering snow particle rotational motion causes significant deviation in the particle trajectories with respect to non-rotating particles. Such a deviation increases with larger snow particle diameters and higher train speeds. The snow accumulation on the overall surface of the bogie increases, and the amount of snow on the vibration reduction device varies greatly. In certain conditions, the amount of accumulated snow can increase by several orders of magnitudes.
