    The document discusses vortex-induced vibrations that can occur on slender structures from wind. It describes different mathematical models used to predict these vibrations and compares models to results from wind tunnel tests on various cross sections. The comparison of test data to predictions from different models can help identify the most accurate models to guide structural codes.

    Vortex-induced vibrations of structures


    Svend Ole Hansen
    ABSTRACT
    Vortex-induced vibrations may occur on slender structures such as chimneys, towers and
    bridge decks. A full analytical description of the phenomenon is still not available, and the
    procedures used to predict vortex-induced vibrations of structures are still rather crude.
    The different opinions on how to represent the phenomenon mathematically are reflected
    in the variety of procedures used in practical designs. For instance, the present Eurocode
    on wind actions includes both the spectral model and the vortex-resonance model for
    predicting vortex-induced vibrations of structures.
    The present paper describes the most important flow and structural characteristics
    governing vortex-induced vibrations of structures. The different mathematical approaches
    presently used to model the phenomenon are described and their modelings of the different
    physical aspects are discussed. The influence of air turbulence and Reynolds number are
    some of the physical aspects focused on.
    The results obtained in a series of wind tunnel tests recently carried out with different cross
    sections, such as circular cylinders, sharp-edged sections, octagons and bridge decks, are
    used as a basis for selecting the most accurate mathematical models to predict vortexinduced vibrations of structures. The comparison of the wind tunnel test results with the
    predictions obtained from the different mathematical models shows a clear picture of their
    accuracy and shortcomings. Thus, the results presented in this paper will be a useful basis
    for the future selection of an accurate mathematical model for predicting vortex-induced
    vibrations in structural codes.

    INTRODUCTION
    Although a great deal of effort has been made during recent decades to improve the
    analytical models used for predicting vibrations due to vortex shedding, the analytical
    models available are still rather crude. The cross-wind forcing mechanisms have proved to
    be so complex that there is no general analytical method available to calculate cross-wind
    structural response. The main physical parameters involved in the forcing mechanisms
    have been clarified, but the basic data used in full-scale predictions have not reached a
    general agreement among researchers. Especially, the methods they use to take aeroelastic
    effects, i.e. motion-induced wind loads, into account differ considerably.
    Two primary design aspects should be focused on in a design procedure:
