Shape optimization of tall buildings cross-section: Balancing profit and aeroelastic performance
(Wiley, 2022)[Abstract:] Shape optimization is an effective tool to improve the aerodynamic performance of tall buildings by introducing minor modifications to the original project. Nevertheless, economic criteria demand efficient cross ... -
Experimental investigation on wind energy harvesting by aeroelastic excitation of a semi-circular cylinder with flat side parallel to the incoming flow
(WIT Press, 2021)[Abstract:] In this work, the performance of a semicircular cylinder with the flat side parallel to the incoming flow has been studied experimentally in a wind-excited energy harvester. Preliminary sectional model wind ... -
Numerical simulations of the aerodynamic response of circular segments with different corner angles by means of 2D URANS. Impact of turbulence modeling approaches
(Taylor & Francis, 2018)[Abstract:] This paper presents the results of numerical and experimental investigations on the force coefficients and Strouhal numbers of circular segments considering different corner angles or chord to sagitta ratios. ... -
Semi-automated setup of CFD simulations of rectangular cylinders and streamlined box decks
(WIT Press, 2020)[Abstract:] A piece of software that acts as a Graphical User Interface (GUI) for the setup of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models that are solved by means of the open source code OpenFOAM, is presented. The software ... -
Assessment of the Aerodynamic and Aeroelastic Performance of Long-Span Twin-Box Bridges Based upon Multidimensional Surrogate Models
(MDPI, 2024)[Abstract:] Twin-box decks are being extensively used in the design of long-span bridges due to their superior flutter performance. Although the significant role played by the gap distance has been previously addressed in ...
