Simulation of the Wind Field of Gantry Cranes Based on FLUENT

Abstract:

The wind load on large cranes with great windward areas cannot be ignored. The simulation of wind field is to determine the accurate wind force acting on different parts of cranes and serves as the basis of the windproof design. Taking 300t shipbuliding gantry crane as the study object, this paper uses computational fluid dynamics, calculates the mechanical response of cranes by FLUENT, obtains the graphs of pressure, streamline, force distribution of cranes under different wind loads. Through the result analysis, dangerous force position is pointed out. And the ideas of structural methods to improve the windproof ability of cranes are also proposed.
