Changing Dynamics of Aerodynamics

The wind engineering community, like so many other science and engineering fields, are constantly exploring ways in which emerging and evolving technologies can be incorporated to enhance the current body of work.

This paper, entitled "The Changing Dynamics of Aerodynamics: New Frontiers," highlights some of the collaborative work being conducted between the NatHaz Lab and other partners. It will be presented at APCWE VII in Taipei, Taiwan.

The Audacity of Change: A Transition to Nonstationary and Nonlinear Era

by Dr. Ahsan Kareem

11 ACWE

The NatHaz lab is attending the 11th Americas Conference on Wind Engineering in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Some of the topics we will present include:

- Analysis of the surface pressure characteristics of prismatic models in gust front and downburst outflows

- Efficacy of damage detection measures for digital images

- Anatomy of damage to coastal construction: a multi-hazard perspective

- Consequences of urban aerodynamics and debris impact in extreme wind events

- A framework for Gust-Front Factor

- Load factors for dynamically sensitive structures
