Abstract

This study investigated the vortex-induced vibration (VIV) characteristics of a proposed water-conveying truss pipeline cable-stayed bridge through wind tunnel tests. The experimental results indicated that both vertical bending and torsional VIV responses decreased as the wind attack angle increased. The vertical bending VIV behavior of the bridge was significantly influenced by the lateral spacing and relative height of the pipelines. Adjustments to these geometric parameters markedly affected the structural VIV response. Furthermore, computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was employed to analyze the flow field around the truss pipeline bridge. The results revealed that changes in the lateral spacing and relative height of the pipelines primarily altered the VIV performance by modifying vorticity distribution, separation point position, and other critical flow field parameters around the truss section. These findings underscore the importance of considering the effects of geometric parameters on VIV during the design of the truss section in pipeline bridges.
