Cables are often used in groups/bundles in a variety of engineering applications such as in suspension bridges, suspended roofs, guyed lattice towers, and power transmission. These cables are prone to large-amplitude vibrations in wind alone and in wind combined with precipitation (rain or ice). The vibrations can lead to fatigue damage and in some cases catastrophic failure of cables posing a threat to safety. Past investigations involving individual cables with smooth surface have resulted in an improved understanding of vortex-induced and rain-wind-induced vibration phenomena. However, there is a need for a credible wind load model that can be used to predict the dynamic response of bundled cables in turbulent and transient wind at moderate to high wind speeds. This research is to improve the resilience of cables used in cable-supported structures and power transmission lines to hazards of hurricanes and other windstorms. The study will facilitate development/evaluation of potential mitigation strategies leading to a reliable civil and power infrastructure. In this project, a synergistic computational and experimental approach will study galloping of bare-cable and cable covered with ice to address the technology gaps. The specific objectives are (a) to improve understanding of aeroelastic (motion-induced) behavior of a single and bundled cables used in cable-supported structures and high-voltage power transmission lines in moderate to high wind speeds, (b) to understand the effects of upstream turbulence, non-uniform flow, transient flow, and wake-induced flow on cable response, and (c) to develop a robust time-domain aeroelastic load formulation to predict cable vibration amplitude. The study involves high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics using large eddy simulation, and wind tunnel experiments using section models of single and multiple cylinders and aeroelastic models. The simulation and experiments will be for bare-cables and cables covered with ice in single and grouped configurations. Comparison of computational simulation and wind tunnel experiment results will provide credibility to both procedures. The primary product of this project will be a wind-load model for cables and a methodology that can be used as a tool in structural analysis to identify the vulnerability of cables in a structure or power line at a given wind site.

电缆通常在各种工程应用中成组/成束使用，例如悬索桥、悬吊屋顶、拉索网格塔和电力传输。这些电缆在单独的风和风与降水（雨或冰）结合的情况下容易产生大幅振动。振动可能导致疲劳损坏，在某些情况下还会导致电缆发生灾难性故障，对安全构成威胁。过去涉及具有光滑表面的单根电缆的研究提高了对涡流引起和雨风引起的振动现象的理解。然而，需要一种可靠的风荷载模型，可用于预测中等到高风速的湍流和瞬态风中成束电缆的动态响应。这项研究旨在提高电缆支撑结构和输电线路中使用的电缆抵御飓风和其他风暴危害的能力。该研究将促进潜在缓解策略的开发/评估，从而建立可靠的民用和电力基础设施。在该项目中，协同计算和实验方法将研究裸电缆和覆盖冰的电缆的驰骋，以解决技术差距。具体目标是（a）提高对电缆支撑结构和高压输电线路中使用的单根和成束电缆在中风至高风速下的气动弹性（运动引起的）行为的理解，（b）了解上游湍流、非均匀流、瞬态流和尾流引起的流对电缆响应的影响，以及 (c) 开发稳健的时域气动弹性载荷公式来预测电缆振动幅度。 该研究涉及使用大涡模拟的高保真计算流体动力学，以及使用单缸和多缸截面模型以及气动弹性模型的风洞实验。模拟和实验将针对单一和分组配置的裸电缆和覆盖有冰的电缆。计算模拟和风洞实验结果的比较将为这两个程序提供可信度。该项目的主要产品将是电缆的风荷载模型和一种可用作结构分析工具的方法，以识别给定风场的结构或电力线路中电缆的脆弱性。
