At present, the numerical simulation on the aerodynamic response and force of the iced conductor are mainly based on the quasi steady criterion, which ignored the interaction between the conductor and the flow field. This paper presents a numerical study of three kinds of fluid-structure interaction models for D-shape conductor. The effects of reduced velocity, degree of freedom and wind attack angle on aerodynamic response of the iced conductor are discussed. The results show that the rotational freedom has certain influence on the across-wind vibration. The mean value of drag coefficient decreases with the increase of wind attack angle, while the lift and moment coefficient increase with the increase of wind attack angle. When the maximum amplitude of vibration displacement occurs, the corresponding reduced velocity is not entirely consistent with that of the maximum aerodynamic force.

Purpose Two disastrous Tsunamis, one on the west coast of Sumatra Island, Indonesia, in 2004 and another in North East Japan in 2011, had seriously destroyed a large number of bridges. Thus, experimental tests in a wave flume and a fluid structure interaction (FSI) analysis were constructed to gain insight into tsunami bore force on coastal bridges. Design/methodology/approach Various wave heights and shallow water were used in the experiments and computational process. A 1:40 scaled concrete bridge model was placed in mild beach profile similar to a 24 × 1.5 × 2 m wave flume for the experimental investigation. An Arbitrary Lagrange Euler formulation for the propagation of tsunami solitary and bore waves by an FSI package of LS-DYNA on high-performance computing system was used to evaluate the experimental results. Findings The excellent agreement between experiments and computational simulation is shown in results. The results showed that the fully coupled FSI models could capture the tsunami wave force accurately for all ranges of wave heights and shallow depths. The effects of the overturning moment, horizontal, uplift and impact forces on a pier and deck of the bridge were evaluated in this research. Originality/value Photos and videos captured during the Indian Ocean tsunami in 2004 and the 2011 Japan tsunami showed solitary tsunami waves breaking offshore, along with an extremely turbulent tsunami-induced bore propagating toward shore with significantly higher velocity. Consequently, the outcomes of this current experimental and numerical study are highly relevant to the evaluation of tsunami bore forces on the coastal, over sea or river bridges. These experiments assessed tsunami wave forces on deck pier showing the complete response of the coastal bridge over water.

Three basic types of similar relationship between the prototype and the model for dynamic structural model test and dynamic destructive model test were proposed in corresponding literatures. At the time the situation where various similar relationships are applicable and the technique to ensure similarity for the different goal was discussed. Here the numerical simulation of model test of water-conveyance tunnel concerning fluid-structure interaction in soft soil is studied. Based on economy and practicability of selective material for model test, the similar relationship and the technique are proposed, which are validated through the example. The results of numerical simulation show: under the specific conditions, data of the model test can completely transfer to those of the prototype by use of this type of similar skill, and get more useful information. Some new ideas are introduced to keep the similarity of the hydro-structure structures.

This paper presents an experimental program performed to study the effect of fluid-structure interaction on the modal dynamic response of water-surrounded slender bridge pier with pile foundation. A reduced scale slender bridge pier specimen is built and tested through forced vibration method. The vibration periods of the first four lateral modes, including the first two modes along x-axis and the first two modes along y-axis, are measured based on the specimen submerged by 16 levels of water and designated with 4 levels of tip mass. Three-dimensional (3D) finite-element models are established for the tested water-pier system and analyzed under various combined cases of water level and tip mass. Percentage increases of vibration periods with respect to dry vibration periods (i.e., vibration periods of the specimen without water) are determined as a function of water level and tip mass to evaluate the effect of fluid-structure interaction. The numerical results are successfully validated against the recorded test data. Based on the validated models, the modal hydrodynamic pressures are calculated to characterize the 3D distribution of hydrodynamic loads on the pier systems. The research provides a better illumination into the effect of fluid-structure interaction on the modal dynamic response of deepwater bridges.
