In this paper, the fluctuating lift and drag forces on 5:1 rectangular cylinders with two different geometric scales in three turbulent flow-fields are investigated. The study is particularly focused on understanding the influence of the ratio of turbulence integral length scale to structure characteristic dimension (the length scale ratio). The results show that both fluctuating lift and drag forces are influenced by the length scale ratio. For the model with the larger length scale ratio, the corresponding fluctuating force coefficient is larger, while the spanwise correlation is weaker. However, the degree of influence of the length scale ratio on the two fluctuating forces are different. Compared to the fluctuating drag, the fluctuating lift is more sensitive to the variation of the length scale ratio. It is also found through spectral analysis that for the fluctuating lift, the change of length scale ratio mainly leads to the variation in the low frequency part of the loading, while the fluctuating drag generally follows the quasi-steady theory in the low frequency, and the slope of the drag spectrum at high frequencies changes with the length scale ratio. Then based on the experimental data, two empirical formulas considering the influence of length scale ratio are proposed for determining the lift and drag aerodynamic admittances of a 5:1 rectangular cylinder. Furthermore, a simple relationship is established to correlate the turbulence parameter with the fluctuating force coefficient, which could be used to predict the fluctuating force on a 5:1 rectangular cylinder under different parameter conditions.

이 연구에서는 풍동실험을 이용하여 선박 운송용 컨테이너의 풍력특성을 조사하고, 그 결과를 토대로 컨테이너의 크기 및 중량에 따른 피해발생 풍속을 평가하고자 한다. 실험결과, 컨테이너 폭의 직각방향에 작용하는 평균 풍력계수는 12ft, 20ft, 40ft, 40ft high cube 순으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 이와 달리 깊이의 직각방향에 작용하는 평균 풍력계수는 40ft high cube, 40ft, 20ft, 12ft 순으로 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 이유는 컨테이너의 풍상면(windward surface)의 모서리에서 박리된 난류의 전단층(shear layer)이 다시 컨테이너의 측면에 재부착(reattachment)되면서 깊이의 직각 방향에 작용하는 평균 풍력계수가 줄어든 것으로 판단된다. 전 풍향에서 컨테이너의 중량에 따른 피해발생 풍속을 평가한 결과, 컨테이너의 전도보다는 활동이 낮은 풍속에서 발생할 수 있음을 알 수 있다. 이때 가장 불리한 컨테이너는 40ft high cube이며, 활동발생 및 전도발생이 일어날 수 있는 풍속은 각각 20.4 m/s와 26.8 m/s으로 평가되었다. 또한 이 연구에서는 컨테이너의 중량과 피해발생 풍속과의 상관을 토대로 컨테이너의 중량에 따른 활동발생 및 전도발생 풍속을 평가할 수 있는 평가식을 제안하였다. 본 연구 결과는 컨테이너의 고박 설치하중평가 및 적재방법 등에 관한 가이드라인 정립에 있어 유용하게 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

The current work numerically investigates the transient force and dynamic response of an overhead transmission tower-line structure caused by the passage of a high-speed train (HST). Taking the CRH2C HST and an overhead transmission tower-line structure as the research objects, both an HST-transmission line fluid numerical model and a transmission tower-line structure finite element model are established and validated through comparison with experimental and theoretical data. The transient force and typical dynamic response of the overhead transmission tower-line structure due to HST-induced wind are analyzed. The results show that when the train passes through the overhead transmission tower-line structure, the extreme force on the transmission line is related to the train speed with a significant quadratic function relationship. Once the relative distance from the track is more than 15 m, the train-induced force is small enough to be ignored. The extreme value of the mid-span dynamic response of the transmission line is related to the train speed and span length with a significant linear functional relationship.

An adjustable, louver-type wind barrier was introduced in this study for improving the running safety and ride comfort of train on the bridge under the undesirable wind environment. The aerodynamic characteristics of both train and bridge due to this novel wind barrier was systematically investigated based on the wind tunnel tests. It is suggested that rotation angles of the adjustable blade of the louver-type wind barrier should be controlled within $90^{\circ}$ to achieve an effective solution in terms of the overall aerodynamic performance of the train. Compared to the traditional grid-type wind barrier, the louver-type wind barrier generally presents better aerodynamic performance. Specifically, the larger decrease of the lift force and overturn moment of the train and the smaller increase of the drag force and torsional moment of the bridge resulting from the louver-type wind barrier were highlighted. Finally, the computational fluid dynamics (CFD) technique was applied to explore the underlying mechanism of aerodynamic control using the proposed wind barrier.

본 연구에서는 부유식 해상 풍력 발전기의 로터 축과 타워 상단에 작용하는 동적 하중을 계산하였다. 부유식 해상 풍력 발전기는 부유식 플랫폼, 타워, 낫셀, 허브, 그리고 3개의 블레이드로 구성되어 있는 다물체계 시스템이다. 본 연구에서는 이들 모두를 각각 6 자유도를 갖는 강체로 가정하였다. 부유식 해상 풍력 발전기의 타워는 플랫폼에 고정되어 있고, 3개의 블레이드는 허브에 고정되어 있다. 낫셀은 타워의 상부에 회전 관절로 연결되어 있으며, 블레이드와 허브로 구성된 로터는 낫셀과 회전 관절로 연결되어 있다. 본 연구에서 부유식 풍력 발전기의 운동 방정식은 다물체계 동역학을 기반으로 한 운동방정식 구성 방법 중 하나인 recursive formulation을 이용하여 구성하였다. 외력으로는 부유식 플랫폼에 작용하는 비선형 유체 정역학 힘과 선형 유체 동역학적 힘 그리고 계류력을 고려하였고, 블레이드에 작용하는 풍력을 고려하였다. 이와 같이 구성한 운동 방정식을 해를 구하여 풍력 발전기를 구성하고 있는 각 요소들의 각 연결 부위에 작용하고 있는 구속력을 계산하였다. 그 결과, 동적 상태에서 풍력 발전기에 작용하는 하중은 정적 상태에서 풍력 발전기에 작용하는 하중보다 큰 것을 알 수 있으며, 따라서 부유식 풍력 발전기의 구조해석의 입력 값으로서 정적 하중보다 동적 하중을 고려하는 것이 더 엄격한 해석 기준이라고 할 수 있다.

The characteristics of the coherence functions of X axial, Y axial, and RZ axial (i.e., body axis) wind forces on the Shanghai World Trade Centre - a 492 m super-tall building with section varying along height are studied via a synchronous multi-pressure measurement of the rigid model in wind tunnel simulating of the turbulent, and the corresponding mathematical expressions are proposed there from. The investigations show that the mathematical expressions of coherence functions in across-wind and torsional-wind directions can be constructed by superimposition of a modified exponential decay function and a peak function caused by turbulent flow and vortex shedding respectively, while that in along-wind direction need only be constructed by the former, similar to that of wind speed. Moreover, an inductive analysis method is proposed to summarize the fitted parameters of the wind force coherence functions of every two measurement levels of altitudes. The comparisons of the first three order generalized force spectra show that the proposed mathematical expressions accord with the experimental results well. Later, the influences of coherence functions on wind-induced dynamic responses are analyzed in detail based on the proposed mathematical expressions and the frequency-domain method of random vibration theory.

In this study, aerodynamic characteristics of a horizontal axis wind turbine (HAWT) were evaluated and discussed in terms of measured data in existing onshore wind farm. Five wind turbines (T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5) were selected, and hub-height wind speed, $U_D$, wind turbine power output, P and turbine rotational speed, ${\Omega}$ data measured from these turbines were used for evaluation. In order to obtain characteristics of axial flow induction factor, a, power coefficient, $C_p$, thrust force coefficient, $C_T$, thrust force, T and tangential flow induction factor, a', Blade Element Momentum (BEM) theory was used. According to the results obtained, during a year, probability density of turbines at a rotational speed of 16.1 rpm was determined as approximately 45%. Optimum tip speed ratio was calculated to be 7.12 for most efficient wind turbine. Maximum $C_p$ was found to be 30% corresponding to this tip speed ratio.

This study presents a dynamic response analysis of operational and parked wind turbines in order to gain better understanding of the roles of wind loads on turbine blades and tower in the generation of turbine response. The results show that the wind load on the tower has a negligible effect on the blade responses of both operational and parked turbines. Its effect on the tower response is also negligible for operational turbine, but is significant for parked turbine. The tower extreme responses due to the wind loads on blades and tower of parked turbine can be estimated separately and then combined for the estimation of total tower extreme response. In current wind turbine design practice, the tower extreme response due to the wind loads on blades is often represented as a static response under an equivalent static load in terms of a concentrated force and a moment at the tower top. This study presents an improved equivalent static load model with additional distributed inertial force on tower, and introduces the square-root-of-sum-square combination rule, which is shown to provide a better prediction of tower extreme response.

This paper presents a wind tunnel study of wind loads of the large billboard structures with two-plate and three-plate configurations. Synchronous dynamic pressures on the surfaces of plates are measured, and the characteristics of local pressures, integrated forces on each individual plate and on the overall structures are investigated. The influences of wind direction and plate configuration on wind load characteristics, and the contributions of overall crosswind load and torque to the stress responses are examined. The results showed that the wind load characteristics of windward plate in both two- and three-plate configurations are very similar. The contribution of overall crosswind load makes the total resultant force from both alongwind and crosswind loads less sensitive to wind direction in the case of three-plate configuration. The overall torque is lower than the value specified in current codes and standards, and its contribution is less significant in both two-plate and three-plate configurations.
