The response of aerodynamic forces on a vehicle model passing in a wake behind a model of a main tower of a big suspension bridge has been investigated in a wind tunnel. A splitter plate placed behind a tower model prevents the vortex street from shedding in the wake and the effect of surviving velocity gradients is examined. We have prepared two kinds of vehicle models: a cylindrical model with a rectangular section and a box model. The results of the present study may be summarized as follows: (1) When a cylindrical model passes through the wake of a tower model with a splitter plate, the aerodynamic forces are influenced by the effects of an apparent angle of attack, the interference between the flows around a tower and a vehicle, and the effects of transient characteristics of flow. In the case of a box model, the aerodynamic forces are governed by the effects of the angle of attack (2) The fluctuation in a side force exerted on a cylindrical or a box model corresponds to the fluctuation in wind due to a wake vortex street behind a tower model, and its amplitude remarkably increases when a vehicle model gets out of the wake. (3) The aerodynamic forces on a box model respond more rapidly to the change in wind velocity than ones on a cylindrical model.
