Abstract

The possibilities of computational methods for assessing the response of cable supported bridges under wind action are considered in this work. The main objective is to study the possibilities of substituting wind tunnel campaigns by computer based analyses, particularly at the early [...]

Abstract

By employing the lattice-Boltzmann method (LBM) with respect to Bhatnagar–Gross–Krook (BGK) collision model, a 2-D computational study is performed to investigate the flow structures, force coefficients and vortex-shedding characteristics behind a single-square cylinder and two [...]

Abstract

A new formulation for two-dimensional fluid-rigid body interaction problems is developed. In particular, vortex-induced oscillations of a rigid boy in viscous incompressible flow are studied. The incompressible Naiver-Stokes equations are used to describe the motion of the fluid, [...]
