Studying the spatial distribution in coherent fields such as turbulence and turbulence-induced force is important to model and evaluate turbulence-induced forces and response of structures in the turbulent flows. Turbulence field-based coherence function is commonly used for the spatial distribution characteristic of the turbulence-induced forces in the frequency domain so far. This paper will focus to study spectral coherent structure of the turbulence and induced forces in not only the frequency domain using conventional Fourier transform-based coherence, but also temporo-spectral coherence one in the time-frequency plane thanks to wavelet transform-based coherence for better understanding of the turbulence and force coherences and their spatial distributions. Effects of spanwise separations, bluff body flow, flow conditions and Karman vortex on coherent structures of the turbulence and induced pressure, comparison between turbulence and pressure coherences as well as intermittency of the coherent structure in the time-frequency plane will be investigated here. Some new findings are that not only the force coherence is higher than the turbulence coherence, the coherences of turbulence and forces depend on the spanwise separation as previous studies, but also the coherent structures of turbulence and forces relate to the ongoing turbulence flow and bluff body flow, moreover, intermittency in the time domain and low spectral band is considered as the nature of the coherent structure. Simultaneous measurements of the surface pressure and turbulence have been carried out on some typical rectangular cylinders with slenderness ratios B/D=1 (without and with splitter plate) and B/D=5 under the artificial turbulent flows in the wind tunnel.

The quasi-steady approaches to simulate the wind induced vibrations of inclined cables, especially on the rain-wind induced vibration, have been tried by many researchers. However, the steady wind force coefficients used in those methods include only the effects of water rivulet, but not the axial flow effects. The problem is the direct application of the conventional techniques to the inclined cable aerodynamics. Therefore, in this study, the method to implement the axial flow effects in the quasi-steady theory is considered and its applicability to the inclined cable aerodynamics is investigated. Then, it becomes clear that the perforated splitter plate in the wake of non-yawed circular cylinder can include the effects of axial flow in the steady wind force coefficients for inclined cables to a certain extent. Using the lateral force coefficients measured in this study, the quasi-steady theory may explain the wind induced instabilities of the inclined cables only in the relatively high reduced wind velocity region. When the Scruton number is less than around 40, the high speed vortex-induced vibration occurs around the onset wind velocity region of the galloping, and then, the quasi-steady approach cannot be applied for estimating the response of wind-induced vibration of inclined cable.

광학측정기법 중 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계는 기존 3차원 측정기법과 비교하여 광학 하드웨어 구조가 측정과정동안 고정되어 있어, 대물렌즈나 대상물체의 수직 스캐닝 없이 단지 광원의 주파수만 특정한 주파수 밴드내에서 스캐닝 하여 대상물체에 주사되므로, 우수한 광학 측정 성능을 보인다. 광원의 주파수를 변경하여 간섭계를 통해 간섭 영상을 획득한 후, 밝기 영상 데이터를 주파수 영역 데이터로 변환하고, 고속 푸리에 변환을 통한 주파수 분석을 이용하여 대상 물체의 높이 정보를 계측한다. 하지만, 대상물체의 광학적 특성에 기인한 광학노이즈와 주파수 스캐닝동안 획득되는 영상의 수에 따라 증가하는 영상처리시간은 여전히 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계의 문제이다. 이를 위해, 1) 편광기반 주파수 스캐닝 간섭계가 광학 노이즈에 대한 강인성을 확보하기 위해 제안되어진다. 시스템은 주파수 변조 레이저, 참조 거울 앞단의 ${\lambda}/4$ 판, 대상 물체 앞단의 ${\lambda}/4$ 판, 편광 광분배기, 이미지 센서 앞단의 편광기, 광섬유 광원 앞단의 편광기, 편광 광분배기와 광원의 편광기 사이에 위치하는 ${\lambda}/2$ 판으로 구성된다. 제안된 시스템을 이용하여, 편광을 기반으로한 간섭이미지의 대조대비를 조절할 수 있다. 2) 신호처리 고속화 방법이 간섭계 시스템을 위해 제안되며, 이는 그래픽 처리 유닛(GPU)과 같은 병렬처리 하드웨어와 계산 통합 기기 구조(CUDA)와 같은 프로그래밍 언어로 구현된다. 제안된 방법을 통해 신호처리 시간은 실시간 처리가 가능한 작업시간을 얻을 수 있었다. 최종적으로 다양한 실험을 통해 제안된 시스템을 정확도와 신호처리 시간의 관점으로 평가하였고, 실험결과를 통해 제안한 시스템이 광학측정기법의 실적용을 위해 효율적임을 보였다.
