Investigation on effects of deck rails on aerodynamics and vortex shedding pattern of bridge girders
摘要
Abstract
In order to evaluate the effects of deck rails on aerodynamics of bridge girders, CFD simulations were carried out to investigate flow field around girder of the Great Belt East Bridge main span, in both construction stage and in-service stage. The Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes ( RANS) equation and SST k - ωturbulent model were employed,with Reynolds number of 3. 18 × 105 . Aerodynamic coefficients of the girder in two stage were obtained under different wind angles of attack. The mean pressure distribution around the girder surface and vortex-shedding Strouhal (St) number are also obtained. The results agrees well with available wind tunnel tests. It is found that the deck rails would bluff the bridge girder, and change pressure distribution on girder windward side. Compared with construction stage under the same wind angle of attack, the involved deck rails will result in significant increase on drag coefficients, with a maximum increase of 38% at zero angle of attack. Both the con-struction stage and in-service stage indicate a multiple vortex-shedding feature, with high-order vortex shedding dominated regardless of time step refinement in the former. Besides, low-order vortex shedding dominated can be predicted in the later if time step size is small enough. It is found that previous CFD simulations of girder in oper-ation stage without deck rails should be avoided, and aerodynamic design of crash barriers, different vortex-shedding features of girders between the construction stage and operation stage should be put great emphasis.关键词
