A numerical simulation has been performed to estimate the transient pressure variation in the tunnel when G7 test train passes through the test tunnel in the Kyoeng-Bu high-speed railway. A modified patched grid scheme is developed to handle the relative motion between a train and a tunnel. Also, a hybrid dimensional approach is proposed to calculate the train-tunnel interaction problem efficiently. An axi-symmetric unsteady Euler solve using the Roe's FDS is used for analyzing a complicated pressure field in tunnel during the test train is passing through the tunnel. Usually, this complex phenomenon depends ell the train speed, train length, tunnel length, blockage ratio between train and tunnel cross-sectional area, relative position between train and tunnel, etc. Therefore, numerical simulation should be done carefully in consideration of these factors. Numerical results in this study would be good guidance to make test plans, test equipments selection and to decide their measuring locations. They will also supply important information to the pressurization equipment for high-speed train.

열차가 고속으로 터널에 진입하게 되면 터널 내부에서 극심한 압력 교란이 발생하게 되며 이로 인한 이명현상은 승객들에게 불쾌감을 크게 유발시키고, 열차 구조물에 작용하는 반복적인 하중변화 또한 구조상 큰 문제를 일으킬 수 있게 된다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해서는 터널 내부의 유동장에 대한 정확한 예측이 필요하다. 본 논문은 긴 터널을 효율적으로 해석하기 위해서 최소 차원의 공간 가정을 통하여 계산 시간을 절약할 수 있는 혼합차원 기법을 이용하여 현재 G7 시제차의 시험 운행 구간내의 터널들에 대해서 수치해석을 수행하였다. 해석 결과 터널 내부에서는 압축파, 팽창파의 상호 작용에 의한 복잡한 압력 교란이 발생하였고, 이러한 압력 변화는 열차 속도, 터널 길이, 측정위치에 따라 각각 다르게 나타났다. 따라서 터널 내부의 유동장을 정확히 예측하려면 열차 속도, 터널 길이, 열차 길이, 열차/터널 단면적 비, 측정 위치 등을 고려하여 해석을 수행하여야 한다. 이러한 수치 해석 결과는 시제차 시험 계획의 수립 및 시험기기의 선택과 설치 위치 등을 결정하는 중요한 자료로 활용될 수 있을 것이며, 고속 열차의 여압 시스템과 외부 부착 구조물에 대해서도 중요한 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

The demand for an environment-friendly transportation system, equipped with low energy consumption, and low-or zero-pollution has been on the increase since the beginning of the World Trade Organization era. Simultaneously, the consistent growth of high-speed tram technology, combined with market share, has sparked a fierce competition among technologically-advanced countries like France, Germany, and Japan in an effort to keep the lead in high-speed train technology via extensive Research and development(R＆D) expenses. These countries are leaders in the race to implement the next-generation transportation system, build intercontinental rail way networks and export the high-speed train as a major industry commodity. The need to develop our own(Korean) 'high-speed train' technology and its core system technology layouts including original technology serves a few objectives: They boost the national competitive edge; they develop an environmental friendly rail road system that can cope with globalization and minimize the social and economic losses created by the growing traffic-congested delivery costs, environment pollution, and public discomforts. In turn, the 'G7 Project-Development of High Speed Railway Technology' held between 1996 and 2002 for a six-year period was focused on designing a domestic train capable of traveling at a speed of 350km/h combined and led to the actual implementation of engineering and producing the '2000 high-speed train:' This paper summarizes and introduces one of the G7 Projects-specifically, the design segment achievement within the development of train system engineering technology. It is true that the design aspect of the Korean domestic railway system program as a whole was lacking when compared with the advanced railroad countries whose early phase of train design emphasized the design aspect. However, having allowed the active participation of expert designers in the early phase of train design in the current project has led to a new era of domestic train development and the implementation of a way to meet demand flexibly with newly designed trains. The idea of a high-speed train in Korea and its design concept is well-conceived: a faster, more pleasant, and silent based Korean high-speed train that facilitates a new travel culture. A Korean-type of high-speed train is acknowledged by passengers who travel in such trains. The Korean high-speed prototype train has been born, combining aerodynamic air-cushioned design, which is the embodiment of Korean original design of forehead of power car minimized aerodynamic resistance using a curved car body profile, and the improvement of the interior design with ergonomics and the accommodation of the vestibule area through the study of passenger behavior and social culture that is based on the general passenger car.
