| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
A wind tunnel experimental method has been developed in order to evaluate the advection diffusion behavior of airborne salt and their adhesion to bridge girders. Its three features are: (1) An aerosol generator is place at the inlet of the wind tunnel to obtain uniform concentration distribution in the air streams; (2) The brightness of each pixel of the digital video is transformed to concentration; (3) Several pieces of filter paper are stuck on the experimental model surface, from which the amount of chloride ion is measured. A numerical method is also developed in which the unsteady advection diffusion equation is solved by means of the finite element method. The comparison of the numerical solution with the experimental data shows importance of the turbulent diffusivity and the three dimensional flow simulation for the advection velocity. These experimental method and the numerical simulation method can provide useful information for the corrosion rate of the bridge surface.
