Abstract

The article describes quantification of hydrodynamic load of overflowed bridge deck. The load is caused by water flow around a bridge deck. Quantification of the load is an important input to assessment of a bridge deck stability when water level in a river channel reaches a lower edge of a bridge deck. Solution was pursued by using 2D numerical simulation of open channel flow in vertical plane created in ANSYS 15.0 software. Standard k-ε turbulence model was used Values of drag force and drag coefficient is result of computation. The article provides comparison of numerical simulation with physical experimental testing and result published in accessible resources.
