Numerical Solution of the Elliptical Problem of Air Potential Flow around High-Speed Train Profiles through the Finite Element Method
Abstract
This work aims to analyze the air flow a round three models of High Speed Train s (HST) and obtain conclusions from the graphical anlysis on wich is the best aerodynamics shape to be adopted. For this p urpose a computional aproches is used that allows reproducibility of the results, through the so-called scientific computing, which consists of analyzing a large volume of data generated by engineering problems. It is proposed to use free software instead of commercial software that, despite being more complex, may suffer from the so -called 'Black Box' effect when the internal problem -solving mechanisms are not known. Key-words: High speed rail, trains, potential flow, spline curves, Python, finite elements method. viii Sumário
