The purpose of this study is to analyze the galloping characteristics of the catenary positive feeder in fluctuating wind areas considering dynamic-wind angle of attack and aerodynamic damping.Firstly,the flow field model of the catenary positive feeder was established,the fluctuating wind field was simulated by Davenport wind power spectrum and linear filtering method,and the wind speed at inlet in calculation domain was controlled by editing the profile file to simulate and calculate the aerodynamic characteristics of the positive feeder in the fluctuating wind area.Then,taking the positive feeder as the research object,the mathematical model of actual structure and the corresponding finite element model were established.By applying the wind load to the finite element model,the influence of aerodynamic damping caused by the self-movement of the positive feeder on the galloping response was analyzed,and the frequency domain characteristics of galloping displacement of the positive feeder considering aerodynamic damping were studied.Finally,the calculation method of aerodynamic damping by the Guidelines for Electrical Transmission Line Structural Loading(ASCE No.74)was used for the galloping response of the positive feeder and compared with the proposed method.The results show that when considering aerodynamic damping,the galloping amplitude of the positive feeder decreases significantly,and the first-order resonance effect on the vertical displacement and horizontal displacement decreases significantly.The galloping trajectories calculated by the two methods are consistent.Therefore,this study is of great significance to further clarify the ice-free galloping mechanism of the catenary positive feeder in violent wind areas.
