Numerical Investigation on Effects of Rivulet and Cable Oscillation of a Stayed Cable in Rain-wind-induced Vibration

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Rain-wind-induced vibration (RWIV) appeared on cable stayed bridges involves complicated fluid and structure interactions and its mechanism is not fully understood. It is believed that the upper-rivulet which is often seen when the RWIV occurs plays an important role. In this paper, a numerical investigation on the effects of the upper rivulet on the aerodynamic forces of the cable and the interaction between the fluid flow and the cable oscillation is carried out where the cable with the upper-rivulet is modeled by a circular cylinder with an arch attachment. The Reynolds number of 6.8×104 is selected. The large-eddy simulation (LES) method with Smagorinsky-Lilly modeling is employed to simulate the 3-D turbulent flow field, and a moving mesh method is introduced to deal with the oscillation of the cylinder. The aerodynamic forces on the cylinder and the flow patterns around the cylinder are analyzed for both steady and oscillation status of the cylinder with the rivulet attachment in different position angle ranged from 0˚ to 60˚. The results show that the aerodynamic forces on the cylinder change largely with the position angle of the rivulet attachment. In the steady cases, a uniform recirculation flow along the axial direction of the cylinder forms behind the cylinder; whereas in the oscillation cases, a 3-D periodical recirculation flow appears along the axial direction. The scales of these recirculation zones are influenced by both the position angle of the rivulet and the dynamic status of the cylinder. The results also show that there exists a rivulet position angle where the aerodynamic force on the cable and flow pattern around the cable both change dramatically. This critical position angle is found to be 45˚ for the cases studied.
