Computational simulation of thunderstorm downbursts and associated wind turbine loads [PDF]
, 2013 textWind turbines operate in a constantly changing wind environment. This requires modeling and simulation of extreme events in which the wind turbine operates and a study of associated turbine loads as part of the design practice and/or site assessment.

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 ...

Using crop fall patterns to provide an insight into thunderstorm downbursts [PDF]
, 2023 This paper examines whether crop fall patterns due to thunderstorm downburst-like events can provide an insight into the flow structure of a downburst. To explore this phenomenon, a novel three-dimensional analytical model for the velocity flow field is ...

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

Ecosphere, Volume 17, Issue 5, May 2026.Abstract Windthrow is a significant disturbance in many forests globally during which strong winds damage trees or other large flora, yet its role in arid ecosystems remains largely understudied. The saguaro cactus (Carnegiea gigantea), a keystone species of the Sonoran Desert, is a long‐lived, massive succulent whose demography is primarily thought to
