Microzonation in Wind Engineering
Journal of the Structural Division, 1979The writers indicate a direction for the improvement of the wind design of structures. The direction involves the extension of previous wind speed mapping procedures to incorporate local meteorological conditions in the development of a wind speed map for a local geographic region.

Computational wind engineering
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1990Abstract The state of the art of computational wind engineering is reviewed. Firstly, the numerical method for simulating turbulent airflow in wind engineering is described briefly. The diagnostic system for assessing the results of numerical simulation is described and error estimation and mesh resolution are discussed.

Wind can be beneficial for example in seafaring, flying or energy production, as well as it can have negative impact. This negative effects can be prevented by deep analysis and experimental methods. Verification of buildings and structures on the model before implementation contributes to saving funds and also has an impact on the environment.

Wind Tunnels Applied to Wind Engineering in Japan
Journal of Structural Engineering, 1984Many large boundary layer wind tunnels have been commissioned in Japan over the past 10 years, giving Japan a commanding lead in this area of technology. Some reasons for this extensive building program include the recent concentration of government research institutes at Tsukuba, the increased emphasis on structural and bridge engineering by the heavy

Power Engineering Journal, 1993
As wind turbines become more common, electrical power engineers will be called on increasingly to design, build and operate wind farms. This article provides an introduction to the engineering of wind farms and discusses their particular implications for the distribution system.

Computer-controlled wind tunnel for wind-engineering applications
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1995Many types of meteorological, environmental and boundary layer wind tunnels have been constructed to simulate atmospheric phenomena on buildings, structures and the transport of air pollutants. New types of two- and three-dimensional wind tunnels which have multiple-fans controlled by a computer, have been constructed in our laboratory. To simulate the

Introduction to Wind Engineering, Wind Structure, Wind-Building Interaction
2007A brief introduction to wind engineering with the main characteristics of the wind structure are provided. Velocity profiles, turbulence and spectra are described along with the effects of upstream exposure. Wind speed and turbulence models for inhomogeneous upstream exposures are presented along with data comparisons from other sources.

Urban Wind Energy: A Wind Engineering and Wind Energy Cross-Roads
2019Renewable energy reliance and the need to exploit renewable energy resources become an important focus of society. Wind engineering has developed significantly and has contributed to the study of significant aspects of wind energy, particularly in the area of the so-called urban wind energy.

Wind Engineering for the Confederation Bridge
Structures Congress 2008, 2008The Confederation Bridge was the subject of extensive wind tunnel studies to define the response characteristics and the wind loads for design. The wind climate at the site was studied to better define the wind speeds for design of the completed structure as well as loads during construction.

Stochastic methods in wind engineering
Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics, 1990Abstract Two rather disparate issues, although both are stochastic in nature, arising from wind engineering are considered in this paper. The first issue involves methods for digitally generating sample functions of a wind velocity field. Such digital generation of sample functions is a prerequisite to successful implementation of the time and space ...
