AERODYNAMICS OF RAILWAY WHEEL - BRAKE SHOE SYSTEM AND ITS INFUENCE ON THERMAL LOADS

Abstract

This article presents course and results of research conducted in Department of Railway Engineering within the range of railway wheel-brake shoe system (KKH) aerodynamic property and influence on thermal loads. Presented also results, which come from that air stream velocity in KKH environment is less than 10% of vehicle velocity. Proved also, that leading way of heat exchange during braking is convection, which intensity depends strongly on air stream velocity.
