Downburst-Induced Vibration Coefficient of Long-Span Roof Structures
Long-span roof structures are vulnerable to being damaged by downbursts due to the sensitivity of such structures to wind loads. However, there is still no simple and practical method for the downburst-resistant design of such structures to date ...

Wind turbine loads in thunderstorm downbursts using large-eddy simulation [PDF]
To meet the U.S. Department of Energy’s goals of delivering 20% of the nation’s energy needs from wind, it is expected that an increasing number of turbines will be sited in resource-rich areas.

Oklahoma Downbursts and Their Asymmetry
Abstract Doppler radar data collected each spring in 1979–1984 with the two Doppler radars operated by the National Severe Storms Laboratory (NSSL) are used to investigate the asymmetry of low-altitude divergent outflows of convective storm downbursts in central Oklahoma.

Downbursts can be a significant hazard to aviation safety as well as to agricultural activities, structures and buildings on the ground. Major damages on the surface, airline incidents in the past, worns on the mechanism of the downburst occurrence and recent efforts to detect eho downburst are reviewed.

Automated Recognition of Macro Downburst Using Doppler Weather Radar
In light of the macro downburst’s ground divergent flow field characteristics and high reflectivity, this paper proposes an algorithm for identifying the downburst area using a Doppler weather radar low-level radial velocity and reflectivity factor ...

Semiempirical Models of Speedup Effect for Downburst Wind Field over 3-D Hills
Downbursts occur frequently in mountainous regions, such as the southwest of China, and causing extensive damage to engineering structures. While some researchers have developed semiempirical models for the speedup effect, most are based on the wind ...

The influence of thunderstorm downbursts on wind turbine design [PDF]
textThe International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard 61400-1 for the design of wind turbines does not explicitly address site-specific conditions associated with anomalous atmospheric events or conditions.
