Study on Aerodynamic Nonlinear Characteristics of Semiclosed Box Deck Based on Variation of Motion Parameters

In order to study the nonlinear characteristics of self-excited aerodynamic forces of bluff body bridge section with the change of motion parameters, a numerical wind tunnel is established by the dynamic mesh technique of computational fluid dynamics (CFD). A state-by-state forced vibration method is used to identify the self-excited aerodynamic forces of single degree-of-freedom (DOF) heaving and pitching motion. Fast Fourier transform (FFT) is adopted to obtain frequency-domain data for analysis. The reliability of the obtained aerodynamic results is verified by wind tunnel tests. The results show that the high-order harmonic components are found in the self-excited aerodynamic forces of semiclosed box deck section, which are more significant in aerodynamic lift than in aerodynamic moment. The proportion of aerodynamic nonlinear components increases with amplitude. The effect of amplitude on the nonlinear components of heaving motion is generally higher than that of pitching motion, and aerodynamic moment is highly sensitive to the increase of vertical amplitude. The variation of the nonlinear components of the deck section with frequency is not a simple monotonic relationship, and there is a stationary point at 10 Hz frequency. The existence of wind attack angle makes the proportion of nonlinear components reach more than 30% and greatly increases the proportion of second harmonic. In addition, the high-order harmonic components, which are not integer multiples, are found at large amplitude and positive angle of attack.
