SMART Wind Tunnel

SMART Wind Tunnel

We developed a didactic wind tunnel based on a simplified Computational Fluid Dynamics model for incompressible flows, designed for educational and exploratory purposes. The solver enforces mass conservation and momentum balance: ∇·u = 0 ∂u/∂t + (u·∇)u = −∇p/ρ +...
Suspension Bridge Aerodynamics

Suspension Bridge Aerodynamics

Since 2004, we have been investigating the aerodynamic and aeroelastic response of suspension bridges.Over the years, we have developed a dedicated finite-element solver specifically tailored for time- and frequency-domain simulations of these structures. In 2006, we...
