Abstract
This study is for the clarification of the cableaerodynamics of a cable-stayed bridge induced by wind and rain, that is called “Rain-Wind Induced Vibration”, which is one of recent majoring subject in bridge aerodynamics. In conclusion, an inclined cable shows aerodynamic instability because of intensive axial flow in its near wake. This axial flow plays similar role of splitter plate submerging in the wake which can make a circular cylinder aerodynamically unstable.
