Strong winds threaten the safety of vehicles on long-span bridges considerably, which could force traffic authorities to reduce speed limits or even close these bridges to traffic. In order to maintain the safe and economic operation of a bridge, a reasonable evaluation of the driving safety on that bridge is needed. This paper aims at carrying outdriving safety analyses for three types of vehicles on a long-span bridge in crosswinds by considering the aerodynamic interference between the bridge and the vehicles based on the wind-vehicle-bridge coupling vibration analysis. Firstly, CFD numerical simulations along with previously obtained wind tunnel testing results were used to determine the aerodynamic force coefficients of the three types of vehicles on the bridge. Secondly, the dynamic responses of the bridge and the vehicles under crosswinds were simulated, and based on those, the driving safety analyses for the three types of vehicles on the bridge were carried out for both cases considering and not considering the aerodynamic interference between the vehicles and the bridge. Finally, the effect of the aerodynamic interference on the safety of the vehicles was investigated. The results show that the aerodynamic interference between the bridge and the vehicles not only affectsthe accident critical wind speed but also the accident type for all three types of vehicles. Such effects are also different for each of the three types of vehicles being studied.

실제 하우스의 배치형태는 단동만 독립적으로 설치되는 것이 아니라 연동 또는 여러동의 단동이 인접해서 설치되어 있는 경우가 대부분이다. 이와같이 배치형태가 달라지게 되면 하우스의 풍압분포는 큰 차이가 있을 것이므로 하우스의 배치형태 변화에 따른 풍력계수의 변화를 규명할 필요가 있을 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구는 두동의 아치형 단동하우스의 동간거리 변화에 따른 풍력계수의 분포특성을 규명하기 위하여 두동의 모델을 제작하여 풍동실험을 실시하였고, 풍력계수 및 항력계수의 변화를 분석하였다. (중략)

하우스에 대하여 풍하중을 고려한 구조해석을 수행할 때 적용하는 풍력계수는 각국마다 차이가 있고 우리나라에서도 실험이나 이론적으로 규명된 바가 거의 없는 실정이다. 따라서 현 실정에 맞는 하우스의 구조해석에 필요한 풍력계수에 대한 규명이 필요할 것으로 판단된다. 이에 본 연구는 단동, 2연동 및 3연동하우스에 대하여 풍동실험을 통해 측정된 풍압을 이용하여 풍력계수를 산정하고 그 변화를 규명하여 풍하중 산정에 필요한 합리적인 풍력계수 분포 단면도를 작성하기 위한 기초 자료를 제공하기 위하여 수행되었다. (중략)

CFD techniques try to find their way in the bridge engineering realm nowadays. However, there are certain fields where they offer superior performance such as conceptual bridge design and bidding design. The CFD studies carried out for the conceptual design of a 425 m length cable-stayed bridge are presented. A CFD commercial package has been employed to obtain for a set of cross-sections the aerodynamic coefficients considering 2D steady state. Additionally, for those cross-sections which showed adequate force coefficients, unsteady 2D simulations were carried out to detect the risk of vortex shedding. Based upon these computations the effect on the aerodynamic behavior of the deck cross-section caused by a number of modifications has been evaluated. As a consequence, a new more feasible cross-section design has been proposed. Nevertheless, if the design process proceeds to a more detailed step a comprehensive set of studies, comprising extensive wind tunnel tests, are required to better find out the aerodynamic bridge behavior.

This study was carried out to analyze the effect of wind load on the stability of a 50ton container crane using wind tunnel test and provide a container crane designer with data which can be used in a wind resistance design of a container crane assuming that a wind load at 75m/s wind velocity is applied on a container crane. Data acquisition conditions for this experiment were established in accordance with the similarity. The scale of a container crane dimension, wind velocity and time were chosen as 1/200, 1/13.3 and 1/15. And this experiment was implemented in an Effect type atmospheric boundary-layer wind tunnel with $11.52m^2$ cross-section area. Each directional drag and overturning moment coefficients were investigated and uplift forces at each supporting point due to the wind load were analyzed.

In this paper, the aerodynamic performance of two new cable surfaces with concave fillets (strakes) is examined and compared to plain, dimpled and helically filleted surfaces. To this end, an extensive wind-tunnel campaign was undertaken. Different samples with different concave fillet heights for both new surfaces were tested and compared to traditional surfaces in terms of aerodynamic forces (i.e. drag and lift reduction) and rain-rivulet suppression. Furthermore, flow visualization tests were performed to investigate the flow separation mechanism induced by the presence of the concave fillet and its relation to the aerodynamic forces. Both new cable surfaces outperformed the traditional surfaces in terms of rain-rivulet suppression thanks to the ability of the concave shape of the fillet to act as a ramp for the incoming rain-rivulet. Furthermore, both new surfaces with the lowest tested fillet height were found to have drag coefficients in the supercritical Reynolds range that compare favorably to existing cable surfaces, with an early suppression of vortex shedding.

일반적으로 풍력계수의 산정방법은 풍동실험에 의한 실측방법과 수치해석에 의한 예측방법 등이 있다. 풍동실험은 보다 정확하고 다양한 실험자료를 얻을 수 있는 반면, 풍동을 설치하기 위한 초기시설비가 너무 높고, 농업시설과 같이 다양한 형태를 위해서 장치를 변형할 경우 변형비용과 시간이 너무 많이 드는 단점이 있다. 수치해석은 풍동에 의한 분석의 단점인 변형비용과 시간은 경계조건의 변형과 빠른 자료처리 능력의 컴퓨터로 해결할 수 있으나 자칫 부정확한 입력자료나 정도가 낮은 scheme의 적용으로 인하여 실제 풍하중의 영향을 유도시키는 위험성도 많다.

This study investigated aerodynamic characteristics of an inclined square prism experimentally. Pressure measurements were performed on a static square prism with a series of inclinations including forward inclinations (inclined to the upwind direction) and backward inclinations (inclined to the downwind direction). The prism with a vertical attitude was also tested for comparisons. Based on the pressure data, influences of the inclinations on aerodynamic characteristics (e.g., force coefficients, pressure distributions on the surfaces, and vortex shedding features) of the square prism were evaluated in detail. The results show that the inclinations have significant effects on these aerodynamic characteristics. Furthermore, the influences of the forward and backward inclinations are quite different.

Dynamic stability is critically required to stabilize an airship which is statically unstable. Numerical computations were performed in order to support and confirm the foced oscillation wind tunnel tests. To analyze the low-speed flow filed around the airship, a low-Mach number preconditioned method was applied. Using two computation methods, variations of the dynamic damping coefficients were examined. Numerical results show that it is dynamically stable for three directional moments, but unstable for normal or side force. It is revealed that the damping coefficients are more sensitive to the direction of the angular rate than the angle of attack or the magnitude og angular rate.
