Optimal paths through downbursts

open access: yesGuidance, Navigation and Control Conference, 1989
The control of an aircraft's takeoff path through a downburst is presently formulated as a dynamic optimization problem with minimum-altitude constraint and two different performance measures; a landing path through a downburst is also discussed. Paths are determined which, in addition to maximizing an airspeed/altitude combination immediately after ...

Analytical prediction of quasi-static responses of transmission lines under moving downbursts: A nonlinear model with linear approximation

open access: yesJournal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2023
Downbursts wind are believed to be responsible for most of weather-related transmission line failures worldwide. Based on a theoretical model of a hinged single-span transmission line structure under moving downbursts, this paper studies downburst ...

Parametric study on the along-wind response of the CAARC building to downbursts in the time domain

open access: yesJournal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 2004
A primary investigation on the along-wind responses of tall buildings to thunderstorm downbursts is presented in this paper. Related characteristics of downbursts are first reviewed.

A deterministic–stochastic hybrid model of downbursts and its impact on a cantilevered structure

open access: yesEngineering Structures, 2004
Thunderstorm downbursts, which are sources of extreme wind loadings in nature, have caused numerous structural failures around the world. It is essential to build some applicable, though approximate, model for these loadings under which structures can be

An empirical model of a downburst

Engineering Structures, 2000
Abstract A “downburst” was defined as a strong downdraft which induces an outburst of damaging winds on or near the ground. Such events normally occur during thunderstorms. It has been well documented that downbursts cause frequent failures of high voltage electricity transmission towers in Australia, and several other countries.
