| Research Abstract |
To investigate the galloping instability of inclined stay cables, the cable models with various kinds of surface conditions were tried to use for the wind tunnel tests. Then, it becomes clear that a cable with spiral protuberances shows the significant stability due to its three dimensional flow separation, and also, the instability of dry-state galloping can be explained by surface roughness of cable, which is related to the critical Reynolds number range. These facts are confirmed by both aerodynamic forces and flow patterns around the cable.
