摘要
To clarify aerodynamic interference between two square cylinders in tandem arrangement, the surface wind pressures of the two cylinders were measured simultaneously by wind tunnel tests at Reynolds number Re=8.0×104 and P/B=1.25-5, where P is the center-to-center spacing of the two cylinders and B is the breadth of the square cylinder. Aerodynamic characteristics of the two square cylinders with varying spacing ratio were investigated. The aerodynamic correlations between the two cylinders (inter-cylinder) and different spanwise sections of cylinders (intra-cylinder) were studied as well. The distribution regions of non-Gaussian wind pressure along the circumferential direction were presented. Results show that the critical spacing ratio of the tandem square cylinders is between 3 and 3.5, which produces a discontinuous jump of aerodynamic forces. The aerodynamic correlations change dramatically with the variation of spacing ratio. Specifically, intra-cylinder aerodynamic correlations of the two tandem square cylinders with P/B=1.25 are much greater than those of the single square cylinder. Furthermore, the wind pressure non-Gaussian regions of the two tandem cylinders are presented, which change significantly with the spacing ratio and show different distribution patterns compared with the single square cylinder. © 2019, Editorial Office of Journal of Building Structures.
