Thunderstorms - their importance in wind engineering (a case for the next generation wind tunnel)
, 2002 This paper attempts a state-of-the-art summary of research into thunderstorm wind fields from an engineering perspective. The characteristics of thunderstorms and the two extreme wind events-tornadoes and downbursts-spawn by thunderstorms are described ...

A novel approach to scaling experimentally produced downburst-like impinging jet outflows
, 2020 Downbursts are intense thunderstorm winds that can be found in most, if not all, regions around the globe. An accurate experimental investigation of downburst winds requires the proper geometric and kinematic scaling between the model downburst (m ...

Simulation and analysis of the mechanism of a downburst process
暴雨灾害, 2022 Using conventional surface observations, Doppler radar imagery and products of the RMAPS model, a gust caused by a downburst event occurred on July 9, 2017, in Shunping of Hebei Province was studied. The results showed that: (1) The northwesterly flow from the convective cloud and below the cloud is affected by precipitation, which resulted in the ...
