Aerodynamic performance of twin-box decks: a parametric study on gap width effects based on validated 2D URANS simulations

Álvarez Naveira, Antonio José; Nieto Mouronte, Félix; Kwok, K.C.S.; Hernández, Santiago (Elsevier, 2018)

[Abstract:] 2D URANS simulations are conducted aiming to study the aerodynamic performance under smooth flow of twin-box decks depending on the gap distance between girders. The Stonecutters Bridge is taken as the reference ...

Study of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder by means of 2D URANS simulations

Álvarez Naveira, Antonio José; Nieto Mouronte, Félix; Hernández, Santiago (WIT Press, 2018)

[Abstract:] Flexible structures, such as cable-supported bridges, are prone to suffer from vortex-induced vibrations (VIV) under wind flow, as their span lengths are steadily growing in the last decades. VIV is a phenomenon ...
