The animation shows a buffeting response of the Great Belt Bridge, which has been simulated using a semi-analytical aerodynamic model and a structure in the mode space, only considering wind effects on the deck with synthetic random free-stream turbulence. Vibration amplitudes are exaggerated.

The animation shows a coupled flutter of the Great Belt Bridge, which has been simulated using a semi-analytical aerodynamic model and a structure in the mode space, considering wind effects only on the deck. The vibration amplitudes are exaggerated.

The animation illustrates a one-to-one comparison of the 2D buffeting response generated by a semi-analytical aerodynamic model and a CFD model, both of which are subjected to synthetic free-stream turbulence.

The animation shows a buffeting response a metal Willow Tree, which has been simulated using a semi-analytical aerodynamic model.

The animation shows a buffeting response a Telecommunication Tower, which has been simulated using a semi-analytical aerodynamic model and a structure in the mode space. Vibration amplitudes are exaggerated.

The animation shows a buffeting response of a modified version of the Mersey Gateway Bridge, which has been simulated using a semi-analytical aerodynamic model and a structure in the mode space, only considering wind effects on the deck with synthetic random free-stream turbulence. Vibration amplitudes are exaggerated.

The animation shows a buffeting response of the Stonecutters Bridge in construction stage, which has been simulated using a semi-analytical aerodynamic model and a structure in the mode space. Vibration amplitudes are exaggerated.

The animation shows wind-vehicle-bridge interaction, where the vehicle-bridge system is coupled and the wind is applied on both deck and vehicles. Vibration amplitudes are exaggerated.
