Semiempirical Models of Speedup Effect for Downburst Wind Field over 3-D Hills
Atmosphere, 2023 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 ...

Thunderstorm Downbursts and Wind Loading of Structures: Progress and Prospect
Frontiers in Built Environment, 2020 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, and structural dynamics were embedded in a homogeneous framework of the ...

CLIMATHUNDERR: experimental database of buoyancy-driven downbursts [PDF]
Earth System Science DataThunderstorm downbursts are windstorms due to intense negatively-buoyant flows produced beneath cumulonimbus clouds. Their study has recently attracted significant scientific and media attention due to the current and projected impacts of climate change.

Experimental Simulation of Thunderstorm Profiles in an Atmospheric Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel
Applied Sciences, 2023 Thunderstorms have different features in comparison with synoptic events, including a typical nose-shaped mean wind speed profile and non-stationary characteristics in time intervals from 10 min to 1 h. The simulation of thunderstorms in traditional wind

On Wind Turbine Loads During Thunderstorm Downbursts in Contrasting Atmospheric Stability Regimes
Energies, 2019 Severe winds produced by thunderstorm downbursts pose a serious risk to the structural integrity of wind turbines. However, guidelines for wind turbine design (such as the International Electrotechnical Commission Standard, IEC 61400-1) do not describe ...
