Abstract

Gust force by across wind fluctuation, which is affected by separated flow from leading edge, cannot be theoretically derived. Therefore, gust force on bridge deck is estimated by experimental aeroelastic response function. However, the formation mechanism of gust force is not known precisely. In this study, to investigate pressure fluctuation of rectangular cylinders, simultaneous surface pressure measurements were carried out in two-dimensional and grid turbulent flows. The results showed that the separated flow from the leading edge of a rectangular cylinder dominantly forms the gust force.
