    The previous shape of the suction head (SH) employed in a cleaning process in a factory had a low performance, removed fewer particles, and generated an annoying noise. Therefore, new shapes of SH have been proposed to solve the issues and the cleaning performance was investigated by the Shear Stress Transport (SST) k-ω turbulence, Discrete Phase (DP), Large Eddy Simulation (LES), and Ffowcs Williams and Hawkings (FW–H) models in a transient state of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). The SST k-ω and DP models were applied to determine the airflow, suspension velocity, cleaning region, and particle trace. In addition, the LES and FW–H models were used to evaluate the noise, sound pressure level, and frequency generated from the proposed shapes. All simulation results were validated with the air velocity and noise measurements and were analyzed to find a suitable shape. The simulation and experimental results revealed that the shapes of the SH affected the cleaning performance and noise generation. The higher the air velocity, the higher the noise generation. The suitable shape delivered a 4.37% better particle removing performance and 11.1 dB less noise generation than the previous shape. The outcomes of this research are the suitable shape of the SH and the research methodology which enabled the application of both CFD and experiments to solve the issue to help enhance the efficiency of the cleaning process in an actual factory.

    The high-speed-train pantograph is a complex structure that consists of different rod-shaped and rectangular surfaces. Flow phenomena around the pantograph are complicated and can cause a large proportion of aerodynamic noise, which is one of the main aerodynamic noise sources of a high-speed train. Therefore, better understanding of aerodynamic noise characteristics is needed. In this study, the large eddy simulation (LES) coupled with the acoustic finite element method (FEM) is applied to analyze aerodynamic noise characteristics of a high-speed train with a pantograph installed on different configurations of the roof base, i.e. flush and sunken surfaces. Numerical results are presented in terms of acoustic pressure spectra and distributions of aerodynamic noise in near-field and far-field regions under up- and down-pantograph as well as flushed and sunken pantograph base conditions. The results show that the pantograph with the sunken base configuration provides better aerodynamic noise performances when compared to that with the flush base configuration. The noise induced by the down-pantograph is higher than that by the up-pantograph under the same condition under the pantograph shape and opening direction selected in this paper. The results also indicate that, in general, the directivity of the noise induced by the down-pantograph with sunken base configuration is slighter than that with the flush configuration. However, for the up-pantograph, the directivity is close to each other in Y-Z or X-Z plane whether it is under flush or sunken roof base condition. However, the sunken installation is still conducive to the noise environment on both sides of the track.
