To investigate the issue of snow accumulation and icing in the region of the permanent magnet direct-drive (PMD) bogie of an intercity EMU (electric multiple unit), this study employs a full-scale three-car model of a specific intercity EMU. Using the Realizable k-ε turbulence model with the unsteady Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes (URANS) method and the discrete phase model (DPM), the snow and wind movement characteristics in the PMD bogie region and the conventional bogie region were simulated under conditions of -30 ℃ ambient temperature and an operating speed of 160 km/h. The research results show that, compared to the conventional bogie, the PMD bogie exhibits a less complex flow field structure with smoother airflow. Although the total snow accumulation in the PMD bogie region is higher, after accounting for the snow adhered to the motor, the overall snow accumulation is reduced by 23.83%, and the snow accumulation on the brake calipers is reduced by 78.368%. Thus, it can be concluded that a significant portion of the snow in the PMD bogie area adheres to the surface of the permanent magnet direct-drive motor, with relatively little snow accumulation on other components, especially the brake calipers. Considering that the heat generated by the motor during operation can melt the snow on its surface, the snow accumulations on the motor surface. Based on these properties, the direct-drive configuration of the intercity EMU bogie offers a notable advantage in mitigating snow accumulation and icing issues.
