摘要

In this study, a method of wind load control based on vortex generator (VG) was proposed to improve the wind resistance of passenger cable cars. By conducting wind tunnel tests, aerodynamic performance and the effect of VG on the wind load control of cable cars were investigated. The test results of aerodynamic performance show that the yaw angle and the aspect ratio have a significant impact on the aerodynamic performance of the cable car model, and the probability density function of aerodynamic force (moment) follows normal distribution approximately under different yaw angles. From the perspective of aerodynamic performance, the cable car model with the aspect ratio of 2/3 is the better basic configuration. The test results of flow control show that VG has a better control effect on wind-induced vibration of the thin and tall cable car models (D/H1), and its control effect is related to the height and spanwise distance of VG. The optimal height and spanwise distance of VG are 1/50 and 13/60 of the lateral length (B) of cable car model, respectively. After optimization, the wind load acting on the model can be reduced by up to 13.8%.
