Abstract

When a train enters the tunnel at high speed, the pressure wave occurs. When this pressure wave reaches at the exit of tunnel, some are either emitted to the outside or reflected in tunnel by the form of expansion wave. The wave emitted to the outside forms the impulsive pressure wave. This wave is called 'Micro Pressure Wave'. The micro pressure wave generates noise and vibration around a exit portal of tunnel. When it becomes worse, it causes anxiety for residents and damage to windows. Thus, it requires a counterplan and prediction about the micro pressure wave for high speed railway construction. In this paper, the effects of train head nose and tunnel portal shape were investigated by model test, measurement for the micro pressure wave at the operating tunnel as well as numerical analysis for the gradient of pressure wave in the tunnel. As results, a method for predicting the intensity of the micro pressure wave is suggested and then the intensity of the micro pressure wave is analyzed by the tunnel length and the cross-sectional area.

열차가 고속으로 터널을 진입할 때 압축파가 발생하게 된다. 이 압축파가 터널 출구부에 도달하면 일부는 외부로 방출되고 일부는 팽창파의 형태로 반사되어 터널내부로 전파된다. 이러한 파는 충격파의 형태로 외부로 방출되는데, 이를 미기압(micro pressure wave)이라고 한다. 미기압파는 터널 출구부에 소음 및 진동문제를 일으키며, 이 현상이 클수록 민가 및 주변 유리창에 손상과 거주자의 불안을 일으키는 원인이 된다. 따라서 고속철도 건설을 위해서는 미기압에 대한 대책과 이에 대한 예측이 필요한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구는 운영중인 터널에서의 미기압 측정사례와 터널내 압력기울기에 대한 수치해석을 통하여, 차량의 전두부 형상 및 터널 갱구부 형상에 따른 영향을 분석하였다. 그 결과로, 본 연구에서는 미기압파의 강도를 예측하는 방법을 제시하였으며, 이를 통해서 터널 연장과 단면적에 따른 미기압 강도를 해석하였다.
