Abstract Detached eddy simulation has been widely applied to simulate the flow around
trains in recent years. The Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) model for delayed
detached eddy simulation (DDES) is an essential user input. The effect of the RANS
model for DDES on the aerodynamic characteristics of a train in crosswinds is
investigated in this study. Three different DDES models are used, based on the Spalart-Allmaras model (SA), the realizable k-ε model (RKE), and the shear stress transport k-ω
model (SST). Results show that all DDES models can give relatively accurate predictions
of pressure coefficient on almost all More >
