摘要
Cable structures of stay-cable bridges are characterized by a high slenderness ratio, low damping, and low stiffness, which probably contribute to the flow-induced vibration of cables. A vortex-induced vibration (VIV) is a type of amplitude-limited flow-induced vibration that can be induced at a low wind speed and is thus a frequent occurrence on stay cables. This study proposed a passive-suction-jet method to suppress the VIV of cables. A wind tunnel experiment was conducted to investigate the control effects of passive-suction-jet rings applied to a cylinder. It was found that the wind speed range of VIV becomes considerably narrow and the amplitude is much smaller under controlled conditions. The VIV is completely eliminated at some proper intervals of passive-suction-jet-ring layouts. Based on the surface pressure distribution, it was verified that the fluctuating value of pressure and wind load are considerably restrained. The mean drag is suppressed because of the increasing plateau value of the leeward surface pressure. Spectral analysis indicates that the control method can effectively change the mode of vortex shedding and weaken the strength of the vortex shedding process. The wake speed profile was finally presented in this research, which confirmed that the width of the wake region and speed fluctuation value are smaller under controlled conditions. The periodic and alternative vortex shedding behind the controlled case is also notably suppressed. Jet rings were equipped on the three-dimensional flexible cable model to alleviate the amplitude of a three-order VIV. In addition, the control effectiveness is stronger with the smaller space between adjacent jet rings. © 2019, Editorial Department of China Journal of Highway and Transport. All right reserved.
