Abstract

This paper investigates the influence of the inflow turbulence integral length scales on the aerodynamic forces on a surface-mounted finite-length square prism and its displacement responses by computational fluid dynamics simulations. Four turbulent inflow conditions with the same mean wind speed and turbulence intensity but different longitudinal and transverse turbulence integral length scales are generated for the simulations. First, the wind pressures and forces on a rigid square prism model and the shear layer characteristics are simulated by large eddy simulations. The simulation results show that the mean characteristics of the wind pressures and shear layers are not sensitive to the turbulence integral length scales. However, the root mean square (RMS) wind pressures on side faces and RMS across-wind forces are increased with the longitudinal turbulence integral length scale, and the mechanism is analyzed by the proper orthogonal decomposition. Second, the displacement responses at the mean wind speed of vortex-induced resonance are computed based on an aeroelastic square prism model by fluid–solid interaction simulations. The RMS displacements of the model are observed to be more sensitive to the transverse turbulence integral length scale rather than the longitudinal turbulence integral length scale. Finally, the influence of the turbulence integral length scales on the Reynolds stresses around the square prism is presented and discussed.
