Numerical Estimation of Aerodynamic Characteristics of Footbridge Deck

Abstract:

For estimation of aerodynamic characteristics of cable-stayed footbridge deck a computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used. An incompressible fluid flow with Navier-Stokes equations has been applied. An adequate numerical model has been created to obtain accurate values of aerodynamic characteristics. Preliminary determination of simulation parameters have been estimated using laminar fluid flow model. Subsequently, Smagorinsky large-eddy simulation (LES) turbulent model has been applied with different simulation parameters to obtain converged values. The boundary layer separation regions and downwind vortex shedding has been observed.
