Monitoring Point of External Wind Velocity Around Building Roof Top for Natural Ventilation Control

open access: yesJAPAN ARCHITECTURAL REVIEW, Volume 8, Issue 1, January–December 2025.
ABSTRACT In order to measure external approaching wind velocity and direction for controlling natural ventilation (NV), anemometers are often installed at the roof top of mid‐ to high‐rise buildings. However, due to the complex flow field around roof top caused by separation flow, the accuracy of the measurement is not well‐known.

What Are the Finger‐Like Clouds in the Hurricane Inner‐Core Region?

open access: yesGeophysical Research Letters, Volume 51, Issue 23, 16 December 2024.
Abstract Finger‐like km‐scale features have been observed along the inner‐edge of the eyewall of intense hurricanes. But due to the limited availability of observations, many important aspects of these features remain unknown. In this study, we aim to offer insights on the nature of these phenomena based on a four‐day‐duration O(100 m) grid spacing ...

Wake Structures and Performance of Wind Turbine Rotor With Harmonic Surging Motions Under Laminar and Turbulent Inflows

open access: yesWind Energy, Volume 27, Issue 12, Page 1499-1525, December 2024.
ABSTRACT This study presents a comprehensive numerical analysis of a full‐scale horizontal‐axis floating offshore wind turbine (FOWT) rotor subjected to harmonic surging motions under both laminar and turbulent inflow conditions. Utilizing high‐fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations, namely, large eddy simulation (LES) with actuator ...
