deck sections. Development of state of the art numerical models coupling finite element analysis and advanced computational fluid dynamics techniques including large eddy simulation. These phases focus on further development of solver algorithm and application of complex moving grids with triangular elements. Ongoing project.
Full three-dimensional turbulent simulation of flow around bridge decks and piers. An advanced and unique stochastic turbulence closure model was developed and applied to this unique type
of flow. Numerical model and solver have been developed and application to different sample shapes is currently under way.
