Study on low-level windshear and turbulence at Hong Kong International Airport by coupling large eddy simulation with mesoscale model

Meteorologische Zeitschrift
Terrain-induced windshear and turbulence are known to be serious threats to airplanes during takeoff and landing. However, it is less known that low-level windshear and turbulence induced by buildings/manmade structures situated near the airport runway ...

Interannual Variability of Compound Hot‐Dry Events Over the Tibetan Plateau

Journal of Geophysical Research: Atmospheres, Volume 131, Issue 17, 16 September 2026.
Abstract Associated with a warming tendency, a large variability of compound hot‐dry events (CHDEs) is evident in the Tibetan Plateau (TP), but the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. In this study, we analyze the interannual variability of summer CHDEs over the TP, identify the key large‐scale climate drivers, and reveal the dominant ...

A Complete CFD Methodology Based on Iterative Model Adjustment to Improve Wind Simulation Accuracy in Highly Dense Forest Area

Energies
Wind resource assessment (WRA) in densely forested and complex terrain remains challenging due to strong canopy-induced turbulence and enhanced wind shear, which significantly affect wind flow characteristics and increase modeling uncertainties.

Interference effects on wind loads as prescribed by codes and standards: can they be generalized?

Revista IBRACON de Estruturas e Materiais
Understanding and quantifying the effects of aerodynamic interference is fundamental to designing safe and efficient buildings; however, there is a complexity in this phenomenon that characterizes it as the greatest challenge of wind engineering and thus

Numerical Investigation of Terrain-Induced Turbulence over Taikoyama Wind Farm

, 2014
Because a significant portion of the topography in Japan is characterized by steep, complex terrain, which results in a complex spatial distribution of wind speed, great care is necessary for selecting a site for the construction of Wind Turbine ...
