Abstract

![CDATA[The improved performance against flutter of multiple box deck configurations has increased their use in recent long span bridges projects. However, these bridges are in some cases prone to suffer from vortex induced vibration (VIV). In the present paper, the effect of gap width and angle of attack on the force coefficients and Strouhal number, has been studied by means of a 2D URANS approach. The CFD results have been compared with experimental ones, with the CFD results quite similar to the experimental ones. Two behavioural zones have been identified depending on the gap to width ratio.]]
