In the continuously evolving field of multi-objective optimization algorithm(MOOA), a pioneering approach known as the multi-objective rime optimization algorithm (MORIME) has been developed to address engineering optimization challenges. This paper centres on the collaborative optimization of engine torque and NOx emissions through the decision variables of INJ (injection mass), SOI (start of injection) and Intercooler(intercooler temperature). Initially, a simulation model of the engine is established using GT-Power(GT-Power is a module within the GT-SUITE software designed for simulating engine operating processes. It has been developed by Gamma Technologies, a company based in the United States.) to ensure its reliability. Subsequently, the optimal Latin Hypercube method and the simulation model are employed to generate an initial dataset consisting of 400 workload points. Based on this dataset, artificial neural network (ANN) prediction models for NOx emissions and torque are developed. The experimental results demonstrate that the use of 10 neural nodes yields faster computation times and better outcomes compared to using 20 neural nodes. Additionally, it is noteworthy that all optimized prediction models utilizing the dung beetle optimization (DBO) consistently achieve correlation coefficients exceeding 99 %. The experimental findings demonstrate an improvement in optimizing emissions for the internal combustion section of the China Rejuvenation Plateau internal electric dual-source electric multiple units(EMU), achieved while meeting dual objective constraints. These findings suggest that integrating optimization algorithms with ANN and multi-objective decision-making holds substantial potential for further enhancing overall engine performance.
Abstract The flow field structure in the bogie region has an important impact on the aerodynamic drag of the EMU. In order to meet the lower aerodynamic drag requirements for further speed increases of EMU trains, this paper adopts numerical simulation method to study the active control drag reduction technology of suction and blowing air combined with bogie. The results indicate that the setting of suction and blowing air holes at the front and rear end plates of the tail bogie has only a drag reduction effect on the pressure drag in the aerodynamic drag of the bogie and tail car. With the change of suction and blowing air speeds, the drag reduction rate of the tail car reaches the optimal value of 3.82% at 0.05U, and the drag reduction rate of the bogie reaches the optimal value of 4.61% at 0.2U. The study on the combined suction and blowing air drag reduction method of the bogie has important significance in breaking through the limitations of traditional bogie aerodynamic drag reduction.
This study explores the use of Multi-Objective Genetic Algorithm (MOGA) for thermodynamic characteristics of serrated plate-fin heat exchanger (PFHE) under numerical simulation method. Numerical investigations on the important structural parameters of the serrated fin and the j factor and the f factor of PFHE are conducted, and the experimental correlations about the j factor and the f factor are determined by comparing the simulation results with the experimental data. Meanwhile, based on the principle of minimum entropy generation, the thermodynamic analysis of the heat exchanger is investigated, and the optimization calculation is carried out by MOGA. The comparison results between optimized structure and original show that the j factor increases by 3.7%, the f factor decreases by 7.8%, and the entropy generation number decreases by 31%. From the data point of view, the optimized structure has the most obvious effect on the entropy generation number, which shows that the entropy generation number can be more sensitive to the irreversible changes caused by the structural parameters, and at the same time, the j factor is appropriately increased.
At present, China’s high-speed rail is in a period of rapid development. Most of the refrigerants used in Chinese motor train units at this stage are still R134a and R407c, which have an impact on the environment. In response to the environmental protection concept of green travel, it is of great significance to study the air conditioning system of motor train units using CO2 refrigerant. Using CFD simulation analysis technology, the heat transfer performance of the air side of the CO2 finned tube evaporator used in the air conditioning system of the motor train unit is studied. We select the air outlet temperature, pressure drop, heat transfer factor, and resistance factor as the objective function, in addition, monitoring points are set up in the air flow channel to monitor the turbulent flow field and pipe wall pressure. Our research shows that the cooling capacity of the CO2 evaporator can reach up to 29.76 kW, which can meet the heat exchange required in the air conditioning system of the motor train unit. In order to obtain a better structure and the conditions of the heat transfer effect, structural optimization was conducted. The simulation results demonstrate several trends: (i) With the augment of the air inlet velocity, the cooling capacity of the evaporator increases and the heat exchange effect improves; when the air inlet ve > 2.2 m/s, the effect of continuing to augment ve on heat exchange is weak. (ii) Following appropriate reduction of the diameter of the heat exchange tube, the wind resistance is reduced and the cooling capacity of the evaporator is improved. (iii) With the enlargement of the fin spacing, the turbulent motion in the flow channel can be fully developed, there is a peak in the change in the heat exchange tube area optimization factor, and the optimal fin spacing is between 1.6 mm and 1.7 mm; at this time, the average turbulent kinetic energy of the air side is larger and the turbulent dissipation rate is smaller. These results provide a reference for the practical application of CO2 refrigerant in the motor train unit.
Due to aerodynamic resistance, aerodynamic noise, and other problems, the further development of traditional high-speed electric multiple units (EMUs) on the open line has been seriously restricted, and the construction of a vacuum pipeline high-speed train system has become a new solution. In this paper, the Improved Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) is used to analyze the turbulent characteristics of the near wake region of EMU in vacuum pipes, so as to establish the important relationship between the turbulent boundary layer, wake, and aerodynamic drag energy consumption. The results show that there is a strong vortex in the wake near the tail, which is concentrated at the lower end of the nose near the ground and falls off from the tail. In the process of downstream propagation, it shows symmetrical distribution and develops laterally on both sides. The vortex structure far from the tail car is increasing gradually, but the strength of the vortex is decreasing gradually from the speed characterization. This study can provide guidance for the aerodynamic shape optimization design of the rear of the vacuum EMU train in the future and provide certain reference significance for improving the comfort of passengers and saving the energy consumption caused by the speed increase and length of the train.
In order to break through the speed bottleneck, researchers envision using tubes to cover high-speed maglev trains and extract some of the air inside the tubes, creating a low-density environment on the ground, greatly reducing the aerodynamic drag of the trains, and in a relatively economical and feasible way, making high subsonic (600 km/h and above) and even supersonic ground transportation possible. The faster the running speed of high-speed trains, the greater the impact of aerodynamic drag on their energy consumption. Studying the aerodynamic characteristics of trains with a speed of 600 km/h can help optimize the aerodynamic shape of the train, reduce aerodynamic drag, and reduce energy consumption. This has positive implications for improving train energy efficiency, reducing energy consumption, and environmental impact. This paper adopts the numerical simulation method to study the drag reduction effect of the plasma arrangement and different excitation speeds on the train set in four positions when the incoming wind speed is 600 km/h, to analyze the mechanism of drag reduction, and then to analyze the combination of working conditions in order to investigate the drag reduction effect of plasma on the vacuum tube train set with an ambient pressure of 10,000 Pa. The findings demonstrate that the plasma induces the directional flow of the gas close to the wall to move the flow separation point backward and delay the separation of the flow, thereby reducing the front and rear differential pressure drag of the train set and lowering the aerodynamic drag coefficient of the entire train. The plasma arrangement is located at the rear of the flow separation point and in close proximity to the flow separation point. The pneumatic drag reduction effect peaks when the excitation speed reaches 0.2 times the train speed and the pneumatic drag reduction ratio is around 0.88%; the pneumatic drag reduction ratio of the rear car peaks when the excitation speed reaches 0.25 times the train speed and the pneumatic drag reduction ratio is 1.62%. The SDBD (Surface Dielectric Barrier Discharge) device is installed at the flow separation point around the nose tip of the rear car.
The influence of the improvement of the finned tube radiator unit structure on the fluid flow and heat transfer effect of the locomotive was studied. A saw-toothed fin structure with aluminum instead of copper was proposed to keep the position and size of the flat copper hot water pipe unchanged. CFD simulation analysis was carried out by ICEPAK17.0, under the conditions of an ambient temperature of 24.6 °C, atmospheric pressure of 85,040 Pa and air density ρ = 0.94 kg/m3, to compare the changes of velocity field, temperature field, turbulence field and field synergy angle. The sawtooth structure of the new heat sink increases the turbulence effect of the fluid, reduces the thickness of the outer boundary layer of the water pipe, and strengthens the heat transfer effect of the radiator. Finally, the baffle height, wing window width and sawtooth angle of the sawtooth structure were selected, and the heat transfer coefficient and pressure under three conditions of low, medium and high were used as indexes to analyze the influence of each parameter on the performance of the radiator. The results show that the heat dissipation effect of the serrated aluminum sheet is higher than that of the copper sheet, the heat transfer coefficient is increased by about 1.3%, the average pressure is reduced, the turbulence performance is improved, the synergy angle is reduced by about 2.3°, and the new radiator has better performance. The fin factor has the greatest influence on the heat transfer coefficient and the least influence on the pressure. When the baffle is about 0.15 mm high, the heat transfer coefficient is the largest, and the height change has the highest effect on the pressure. The included Angle factor has the least influence on the heat transfer effect, and the influence on the pressure is higher. By changing the fin window structure, the thermal performance of the finned tube radiator can be improved.

In order to further reduce the aerodynamic drag of High-speed Electric Multiple Units (EMU), an active flow control drag reduction method combining air suction and blowing is proposed at the rear of the EMU train. A numerical calculation method based on realizable k-ε is used to investigate the aerodynamic drag characteristics of a three-car EMU with a speed of 400 km/h. The influence of different suction-blowing mass flow rates, the position and number of suction and blowing ports on the aerodynamic drag and surface pressure of the EMU tail are analyzed. The results demonstrate that suction and blowing at the tail reduce the pressure drag of EMU. And with the growth of air suction-blowing mass flow rate, the aerodynamic drag reduction rate of the tail car gradually increases, but the increment of drag reduction rate gradually decreases. Under the same mass flow rate of the suction and blowing, the closer the ports are to the upper and lower edges of the windscreen, the lower the pressure drag of the tail car is. At the same flow flux of air suction and blowing, the more the number of ports, the better the pressure drag reduction effect of the tail car. This study provides a reference for the next generation of EMU aerodynamic drag reduction and is of great significance for breaking through the limitations of traditional aerodynamic drag reduction.

In order to improve the diagnosis accuracy and solve the weak fault signal of rolling element of rolling bearings due to long transmission path, a novel fault diagnosis method based on variational mode decomposition (VMD) and maximum correlation kurtosis deconvolution (MCKD), namely VMD-MCKD-FD is proposed for rolling elements of rolling bearings in this paper. In the proposed VMD-MCKD-FD, the vibration signal of rolling element of rolling bearings is decomposed into a series of Intrinsic Mode Functions (IMFs) by using VMD method. Then the number of modes with outstanding fault information is determined by Kurtosis criterion in order to calculate the deconvolution period T. The periodic fault component of reconstructed signal is enhanced by using sensitivity MCKD method. Finally, the power spectrum of the reconstructed signal is analyzed in detail in order to obtain the fault frequency and diagnose the rolling element fault of rolling bearings. The simulation signal and actual vibration signal are selected to verify the effectiveness of the VMD-MCKD-FD method. The experimental results show that the VMD-MCKD-FD method can effectively diagnose the rolling element fault of rolling bearings and obtain better fault accuracy.

Aiming at the problems of poor decomposition quality and the extraction effect of a weak signal with strong noise by empirical mode decomposition (EMD), a novel fault diagnosis method based on cascaded adaptive second-order tristable stochastic resonance (CASTSR) and EMD is proposed in this paper. In the proposed method, low-frequency interference components are filtered by using high-pass filtering, and the restriction conditions of stochastic resonance theory are solved by using an ordinary variable-scale method. Then, a chaotic ant colony optimization algorithm with a global optimization ability is employed to adaptively adjust the parameters of the second-order tristable stochastic resonance system to obtain the optimal stochastic resonance, and noise reduction pretreatment technology based on CASTSR is developed to enhance the weak signal characteristics of low frequency. Next, the EMD is employed to decompose the denoising signal and extract the characteristic frequency from the intrinsic mode function (IMF), so as to realize the fault diagnosis of rolling bearings. Finally, the numerical simulation signal and actual bearing fault data are selected to prove the validity of the proposed method. The experiment results indicate that the proposed fault diagnosis method can enhance the decomposition quality of the EMD, effectively extract features of weak signals, and improve the accuracy of fault diagnosis. Therefore, the proposed fault diagnosis method is an effective fault diagnosis method for rotating machinery.
Through the improved delay-detached eddy simulation (IDDES), this paper establishes a 1:1 model for a high-speed train, and simulates the transient state of the train running 600km/h in a vacuum pipeline with the pressure of 1,000Pa. The results show that, following the Ω criteria, a pair of counterrotating vortexes can be captured, which alternatively shed near the tip of the last carriage, and propagate over a long distance along the flow direction. The motion and expansion of the vortexes are clearly three-dimensional (3D). Judging by the physical meaning of vortexes, the high vorticity vortexes mainly concentrate near the tip of the last carriage, while the low vorticity vortexes scatter across the wake zone. The latter vortexes have a low dissipation rate and are dominated by rotation. The turbulent energy and Reynolds stress of the wake field are very obvious near the tip of the last carriage, and attenuate quickly along the flow direction. This means the vortexes near the tip of the last carriage face a strong shear effect, and undergo apparent dissipation. Low turbulent energy and Reynolds stress are distributed in the downstream far from the tip of the last carriage, i.e., the interaction zone between vortexes and the ground / inner pipe wall.
In recent years, methods for detecting motor bearing faults have attracted increasing attention. However, it is very difficult to detect the faults from weak motor bearing signals under the strong noise. Stochastic resonance (SR) is a popular signal processing method, which can process weak signals with the noise, but the traditional SR is burdensome in determining its parameters. Therefore, in this paper, a new advancing coupled multi-stable stochastic resonance method, with two first-order multi-stable stochastic resonance systems, namely CMSR, is proposed to detect motor bearing faults. Firstly, the effects of the output signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for system parameters and coupling coefficients are analyzed in-depth by numerical simulation technology. Then, the SNR is considered as the fitness function for the seeker optimization algorithm (SOA), which can adaptively optimize and determine the system parameters of the SR by using the subsampling technique. An advancing coupled multi-stable stochastic resonance method is realized, and the pre-processed signal is input into the CMSR to detect the faults of motor bearings by using Fourier transform. The faults of motor bearings are determined according to the output signal. Finally, the actual vibration data of induction motor bearings are used to prove the effectiveness of the proposed CMSR. The comparison results with the MSR show that the CMSR can obtain a higher output SNR, which is more beneficial to extract weak signal features and realize fault detection. At the same time, this method also has practical application value for engineering rotating machinery.
