| Abstract | Rough surfaces of flying and swimming animals help to reduce the aerodynamic or hydrodynamic drag when they move in the environment. In this research, biomimetic rough surface is introduced for high-speed train to reduce the aerodynamic drag. CFD tool is used to numerically study how the aerodynamic drag is altered by applying the biomimetic structures to the high-speed train surface. Rough surface is distributed in three areas: pantograph, bogie and windshield areas to reduce the drag at train speed of V = 400km/h. Concave is employed on these areas and orthogonally distributed with diameter of 40mm and center-to-center distance from 60mm to 80mm. The drag force is slightly increased/decreased in the pantograph area, while in the bogie and windshield areas rough structures lead to drag reduction with same distribution configuration. For all cases, the amount of shear drag change is much less than the pressure drag change. The total drag reduction mainly comes from pressure change. Rough surface positively contributes to changing the surface flow and thus reducing the aerodynamic drag. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
