Aerodynamic Analysis Of Long-span Bridge Cross-sections Using Random Vortex Method

In this thesis, two dimensional, incompressible, viscous flow past bluff bodies and a bridge section, in which strong vortex shedding and unsteady attribute of flow are generally found, is simulated by means of random vortex method.
The algorithm and method are described in detail. The validation and applicability of the developed numerical implementation to general wind engineering problems is illustrated by solving a number of classical problems, such as flow past circular and square cylinders. An application of the numerical implementation in the area of computational wind engineering is performed by analyzing a bridge deck section. Moreover, all results are compared with experimental and numerical studies in literature.
