Abstract: Delaunay background grid,edge spring grid and linear spring grid are used to study computational domain grid movement on non-structural grid and structure grid for non-streamlined bridge section.It shows that the methods are effective as grid deformation within a normal vibration amplitude of the bridge section.Delaunay grid background method consumes the least time and the linear spring grid method obtains the highest quality.It also shows that with large amplitudes,structural grid is invalid easily and linear spring grid method ensures effectively.

Key words: grid movement, non-streamlined deck, forced vibration, CFD
