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.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
