Calculation of a temperature field of sledge-bobsleigh track in St. Petersburg

Introduction

Sledge-bobsleigh tracks - sports constructions, as a rule, not having analogs. The general requirements to the main characteristics of routes are stated in the International rules on bobsled of 2010 [23], however the technical solutions made during design depend on many factors: location, climatic conditions, competitions level, standard requirements of construction and so forth.

The most difficult part is the design of a trench and system of a freezing of ice which in total have to ensure safety and quality of competitions.

In the real work the question of the organization of system of cold supply in borders of a concrete trench of the route is considered.

The work purpose - to make practical recommendations about a configuration of the pipe cooling system of an open ice surface of sports appointment for the route in climatic conditions of St. Petersburg.

 

For realization of a goal in work the following tasks are set:

1. To give analytical estimates of the temperature distribution of the ice surface;

2. To define influence of configuration of pipelines on the ice surface temperature difference, by carrying out numerical modeling;

Object of research is the site of a technological plate of the sledge-bobsleigh track.
