ABES crossWind

ABES crossWind provides a toolbox to assist in the evaluation of the dynamic response of long-span and tall structures to wind loading.

  • Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) code to evaluate the interaction between a cross-section and the surrounding air flow in 2D using the Vortex Particle method.
  • Functions to compute the lift-, drag-, and moment characteristics for given cross-sections.
  • Functions to determine vortex shedding characteristics.
  • Functions to compute flutter parameters.
  • Flutter analysis for single-mode and coupled multi-mode flutter.
