The purpose of this work was to validate and apply a commercial computational fluid dynamics code with a hybrid RANS/LES turbulence computational model for a flow past a bluff body ultimately to help in the design of the caisson anchoring system during construction of a new adjacent span of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.
