Computational analysis of VIV observed on existing bridges

This paper presents Computational Fluid Dynamics simulations of two existing bridges which exhibited vortex-induced vertical vibrations: Alconétar upper steel arch bridge (2006, Cáceres, Spain, 220 m main span) and the Volgograd Bridge (2009, Volgograd, Russia, 155 m main span). The Vortex Particle Method is used for the analysis.
