Bridge deck flutter derivatives: efficient numerical evaluation exploiting their interdependence (2014)
Journal Article
Nieto, F., Owen, J., Hargreaves, D., & Hernández, S. (2015). Bridge deck flutter derivatives: efficient numerical evaluation exploiting their interdependence. Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 136, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jweia.2014.11.006

Increasing the efficiency in the process to numerically compute the flutter derivatives of bridge deck sections is desirable to advance the application of CFD based aerodynamic design in industrial projects. In this article, a 2D unsteady Reynolds-av... Read More about Bridge deck flutter derivatives: efficient numerical evaluation exploiting their interdependence.

The computational fluid dynamics modelling of the autorotation of square, flat plates (2014)
Journal Article
Hargreaves, D., Kakimpa, B., & Owen, J. S. (2014). The computational fluid dynamics modelling of the autorotation of square, flat plates. Journal of Fluids and Structures, 46, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jfluidstructs.2013.12.006

This paper examines the use of a coupled Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) – Rigid Body Dynamics (RBD) model to study the fixed-axis autorotation of a square flat plate. The calibration of the model against existing wind tunnel data is described. Du... Read More about The computational fluid dynamics modelling of the autorotation of square, flat plates.
