1. Tasks:

The research project PID2023-153061OB-I00 "Small-scale turbulent flow on bridge decks: experimental and numerical studies, and potential for passive control of vortex-induced vibrations" covers the following specific objectives:

Specific Objective 1: Experimental study of small-scale rod-induced turbulent (SSRIT) flows on bridge decks, and assessment of potential for VIV mitigation.

Specific Objective 2: Assessment of the expected accuracy of 2D URANS simulations to simulate the aerodynamic response of bridge decks under SSRIT flow

Specific Objective 3: For static bridge decks, assessment of the expected accuracy and computational burden associated with 3D LES simulations of SSRIT flow

Specific Objective 4: For a bridge undergoing VIV under SSRIT flow, assessment of the expected accuracy and computational burden associated with 3D LES simulations

Specific Objective 5: Adopt 3D LES simulations to study the ability of one of the VIV mitigative devices designed and tested in the frame of the Specific Objective 1. The researcher will participate in the following activities:

a) Wind tunnel testing campaign.

b) 2D URANS modelling.

c) 3D LES modelling d) Postprocessing of experimental and numerical results.
