Abstract:This paper presents the effects of angles of attack (AOA) on the windproof effect of wind barriers and the driving safety of highway vehicles on a wide bridge girder. The aerodynamic force coefficients of the vehicles were obtained using the force measurement technique. Computational fluid dynamics simulations were employed to investigate the mean wind velocity field on the upper surface of the girder. A comparison was made between the aerodynamic forces on a vehicle at various AOA on a bridge deck with guardr… Show more
