Numerical Simulation of the Wind Load on the Mast at Different Wind Angles

Article Preview

Abstract:

The wind load acted on ship mast at different wind angles of large Reynolds number is numerically simulated in this paper. CFX software was used to analyze the trend of constant and fluctuating forces that the mast surface suffered at different Reynolds numbers.The vortex shedding strength of the wind load around the mast was also analyzed according to the trend of Strouhal number varing with the simulated Reynolds numbers. The results show that the wind angle has an important impact on the lift, drag, and vertical force of the mast. The vertical force of the inclined side wall on the mast can not be ignored,and the angle of direction wind has great impact on the Strouhal number at different Reynolds numbers.
