In response to the issue of wind-blown snow disasters in railway cutting areas, this paper adopts the Improved Delayed Detached Eddy Simulation (IDDES) turbulence model, the synthetic vortex method, and the Euler two-phase flow model, combined with grid dynamic deformation technology, to extract the temporal evolution of snow particle accumulation patterns in the cutting area. The correctness of the numerical simulation is verified through experiments. On this basis, the effects of uniform and turbulent fluctuating flow conditions on the distribution of snow cover in the high-speed railway cutting area are studied; and the flow field structure, friction velocity distribution, and snow cover contour inside the cutting area are analyzed. The results show that under the two flow conditions, the snow mass on the windward side slope of the cutting area is basically the same, but there are significant differences in the growth rate and distribution characteristics of snow accumulation. Turbulent fluctuating flow conditions delay the transition from large-scale vortices to vortex pairs in the leeward slope area of the road cut and generate strong erosion phenomena between the track bed and the leeward slope, thereby reducing the snow accumulation in the leeward slope and roadbed area. At t=120 min, compared to uniform flow conditions, under turbulent fluctuating flow conditions, the total accumulation of snow in the cutting area decreases by 24.8%; the snow accumulation in the leeward slope area decreases by 40.2% and that in the roadbed area decreases by 20.6%, while the snow accumulation in the windward slope area remains basically the same.
