Abstract

Two-dimensional viscous incompressible ßow past Þve generic bridge deck cross sections are investigated by means of the discrete vortex method. The analyses yields root mean square lift coe¦cients and Strouhal numbers for Þxed cross sections and aerodynamic derivatives for the cross sections undergoing forced oscillatory cross wind and twisting motion. Fair agreement is established between the present simulations and wind tunnel test results reported in the literature.
