摘要

Hyperloop is proposed as the next generation of sustainable high-speed transport. Recently, an increasing body of literature has been amassed on Hyperloop aerodynamics, however, the vast majority of this work is numerical. Experimentally, there are few relevant studies and none are suitable for validating computational approaches. This paper presents three benchmark cases to provide a framework for computational research and to address this significant gap. Benchmark 1 provides experimental data from existing work on a projectile traveling at Mach 1.1 in ground effect. This incorporates many of the flow characteristics of a Hyperloop system, including (i) transonic Mach numbers, (ii) wall confinement, and (iii) shock formation/reflection. These experimental data are compared to Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations with a very good match seen. Next, Benchmark 2 is proposed which extends these simulations toward a baseline Hyperloop pod design operating in an axisymmetric low-pressure tube environment. This is achieved in stages by adding a full tube, scaling up the domain, reducing the air pressure, and introducing a baseline pod design. It is shown that the enclosed tube environment causes the most significant change in aerodynamic characteristics via flow choking. Nevertheless, a number of aerodynamic similarities remain, compared to Benchmark 1. Finally, Benchmark 3 is proposed to explore the impact of ground clearance of the pod. This aspect has a significant influence on the flow by deflecting the wake and the downstream shock pattern. Furthermore, the drag, downforce, and pitching moment are all found to increase with lower ground clearances.
