Downburst Flow Simulation and Evaluation of Downburst Wind Effects on Buildings [PDF]

, 2022
Downbursts are non-stationary, non-Gaussian, transient, localized high wind events that constitute considerable damage to structures. Five different downburst simulator designs were tested and assessed in a 1:15 small-scale replica of the Wall of Wind ...

Loading of a very tall building in a simulated downburst wind field [PDF]

, 2004
Thunderstorm downbursts are important for wind engineers as they have been shown to produce the design wind speeds for mid to high return periods in many regions of Australia [1]. In structural design codes (e.g. AS/NZS1170.02-02) an atmospheric boundary

Multi-Scale Failure Analysis of Transmission Towers Under Downburst Loading

, 2018
Collapse of transmission towers due to downbursts is often initiated by local failure of key structural members, while the local failure of key structural members is related to local material and geometrical nonlinearities.

Effect of complex orography on numerical simulations of a downburst event in Spain [PDF]

PRE2020-092343A downburst is a localized and intense downdraft of air that descends quickly from the middle troposphere and reaches the Earth's surface. It is frequently originated by a thunderstorm or a supercell.

Observational and Modelling Study of a Major Downburst Event in Liguria : the 14 October 2016 Case [PDF]

, 2019
Downbursts are very disruptive weather events that can produce large amounts of damage. The most studied downbursts are those occurring in the United States and continental Europe, but they can happen globally. This work is an observational and modelling

Wind load impact on tall building facades: damage observations during severe wind events and wind tunnel testing

Frontiers in Built Environment
As global urbanization accelerates, the construction of tall buildings has surged, becoming a defining feature of modern cityscapes. Tall buildings, while contributing to economic growth and urban development, face substantial risks from extreme wind ...

Full‐scale measurements of thunderstorm outflows in the Northern Mediterranean

Geoscience Data Journal
Downbursts are severe wind systems originating from thunderstorm clouds, and their strong horizontal outflows can pose serious hazards to natural and built environments.

Downburst prediction applications of meteorological geostationary satellites

SPIE Proceedings, 2014
A suite of products has been developed and evaluated to assess hazards presented by convective storm downbursts derived from the current generation of Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES) (13-15). The existing suite of GOES downburst prediction products employs the GOES sounder to calculate risk based on conceptual models of ...

Exploring the Feasibility of Using Commercially Available Vertically Pointing Wind Profiling Lidars to Acquire Thunderstorm Wind Profiles

Frontiers in Built Environment, 2019
While multiple types of remote sensing instruments have been used to investigate wind profiles associated with thunderstorms, the use of profiling Lidars (LIght Detection And Ranging) has been mostly limited to the wind energy sector.
