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 ...

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
