The Aerodynamic Characteristics of Bus in Different Lateral Locations of Steel Box-Girder Bridge

Choosing bus as the research object, the aerodynamic characteristics of bus in the coupling of wind-vehicle-bridge system were analyzed by CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) numerical algorithm. The variations of state coefficients of bus along with wind yaw angles were simulated when a bus in the different lateral locations of steel box-girder bridge and the minimum critical wind speed was calculated when a bus overturning or sideslip in four different lanes on the bridge.
