A Computational Study on the Aerodynamics of a Twin-Box Bridge With a Focus on the Spanwise Features
(Elsevier, 2021)
[Abstract] The wind flow around twin-box decks is particularly complex due to the very important role played by the slot distance between girders and the presence of the downwind box that is immersed in the wake of the ...
Study of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder by means of 2D URANS simulations
(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 ...
Aerodynamic performance of twin-box decks: a parametric study on gap width effects based on validated 2D URANS simulations
(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 ...
3D LES simulations of a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder: effects of the grid resolution
(Elsevier, 2019)
[Abstract:] In the present study, the aerodynamics of the flow fields around a static and vertically free-to-oscillate 4:1 rectangular cylinder are analysed by means of 3D LES simulations, adopting the OneEqEddy viscosity ...
Experimental and Computational Studies on the Performance of Solar Trackers Under Vortex Shedding, Torsional Divergence, and Flutter
(WIT Press, 2020)
[Abstract] The current development of renewable energies has originated a number of new structural typologies that are the physical support of the energy production systems. Photovoltaic energy is a very mature source and ...
