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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Square Cylinder Under Different Turbulent Intensity Conditions by Means of Small-Scale Turbulence
(WIT Press, 2021)
[Abstract] The phenomenon of turbulence is present in almost every type of flow in practical applications. Depending on its level of intensity and length scale, it can modify both the aerodynamic and aeroelastic performance ...
Verification Approaches for the 3D Static LES Simulations of the Stonecutters Bridge Deck
(WIT Press, 2021)
[Abstract] In computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, verification is the process of identifying both the spatial and the temporal discretisations providing relatively insensitive model results. The underlying goal ...
A simplified CFD approach for bluff-body aerodynamics under small scale free stream turbulent flow
(Elsevier, 2023)
[Abstract:] The study of free stream turbulence (FST) effects on bluff bodies by means of computational approaches has been addressed so far mainly applying scale resolving methods adopting a three-dimensional domain, which ...
