Zusammenfassung der Projektergebnisse

A novel numerical method was developed for the fluid flow analysis of bluff bodies at high Reynolds Numbers. Specifically, the method allows pseudo-3D simulations of fluid–structure interaction phenomena of line-like structures under the influence of incoming turbulence. The method is based on the Vortex Particle Method (VPM) and enjoys a high computational efficiency which renders it applicable to the analysis of numerous problems in wind engineering. This may include the prediction of dynamic Vortex Induced Vibrations, Flutter and Buffeting effects of structures such as bridges, masts and high-rise buildings which may have complex cross sectional geometries. The properties of turbulent wind as occurring in the atmospheric boundary layer are accounted for in a statistical sense by creating artificial fluctuating inflow conditions for the VPM simulation through vortex particle seeding in such a way that the upstream velocity field satisfies properties such as turbulence intensities, spectra and spatial correlations. The fluid–structure coupling was modelled within each of several two-dimensional VPM slices through surface pressures integrated to sectional forces and applied to a global structural model. The dynamic displacements are then reflected back to each slice by sectional displacements of the immersed boundary of the VPM. The individual components of the method have been validated and the method was then applied to real structures. For example the buffeting response of Stonecutters Bridge in an erection condition was analysed and the results were compared with experimental results obtained from boundary layer wind tunnel tests.
