Abstract

This paper utilizes the CFD simulation analysis method, calculates and analyzes the distribution characteristics of streaming around the typical steel tubular transmission tower body and the pressure field, researches the change law of wind load force (torque) coefficient along with each main shaft direction o tower body, and then compares it with corresponding wind tunnel test result, and verifies the adaptability of this CFD simulation result. The result shows that the pole member in the upwind direction on the steel tubular tower has obvious disturbance and shielding effect to wind speed distribution around the pole member of downwind direction. The wind direction has obvious influence on the aerodynamic (torque) parameters of tower body, especially the steel tubular - angle steel combined tower body. The above research result provides a certain theoretical support and value taking basis for the wind-resistant design of steel tubular transmission tower body.
