In the past 50 years, Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) has undergone a successful
transition from an emerging field into an increasingly established field in wind engineering …

In 1961, Davenport published a paper, considered by most to be a critical work in the study
of wind engineering, in which meteorology, micrometeorology, climatology, aerodynamics …

A new turbulent inflow generator technique that can be used as inflow boundary condition
for LES of lower atmospheric boundary flow (ABL) is proposed based on synthesizing …

The idea that “wind is wind”, irrespective of causal mechanism, allows wind and pressure
information collected in wind tunnels to be used in wind load standards. This concept is …

Aerodynamic and pressure coefficients of a sectional model of a sharp-edged square
cylinder, at zero incidence angle, are experimentally evaluated in accelerating flow …

The wind field of an intense idealised downburst wind storm has been studied using an
axisymmetric, dry, non-hydrostatic numerical sub-cloud model. The downburst driving …

Wind excited response of structures due to downbursts has been studied using wind tunnel
simulations, computational fluid dynamics applications, and analytical procedures in the …

The Mediterranean is a “hot spot” for the genesis of different types of severe weather events,
including potentially damaging wind phenomena like downbursts, whose occurrence and …

This paper is part of a research project that started from the consideration that thunderstorms
are transient phenomena with short duration and the structural response to transient …

Loads associated with downbursts represent a significant vulnerability on various structures.
Designing the structures to withstand such loads requires the knowledge about the turbulent …
