Résumé | The pantograph strip interface involves many physical phenomena. Temperature evolution is one of them. This problem includes various thermal flux and sources. More specifically, due to the train motion, a moving zigzag heat source occurs. This paper deals with a thermal 2D Alternating Direction Implicit (ADI) numerical method for temperature estimations in the train pantograph carbon strip, the aims being a better wear problems anticipation and the creation of a preventive maintenance. For that, an electrical model is coupled to the thermal one to take into account all Joule effects. The ADI strategy enables a significant computation time reduction against most classical resolution methods. Besides, the model involves two mathematical processes : the first one is an appropriate variable transform which induces a fixed surface heat production, while the second is based on locally refined meshes. Various numerical tests are presented and discussed in order to show the accuracy of the scheme. From a physical point of view, the results are much interesting. Further investigations, depending on the different parameters, should lead us to predict the strip critical thermal phases |
