Aspect ratio effects on spatiotemporal correlations and coherent structures of buildings specifically for twisted wind

In this study, flow fields of square cross-section buildings with three aspect ratios (AR=breadth/height=1:1, 1:4 and 1:6) under conventional wind profile (CWP) and twisted wind profile (TWP) are simulated...

Investigating the impact of non-stationary typhoon on extreme value analysis of annual maximum wind speeds

Extreme wind loads are the wind loads that a structure is expected to encounter during its design service life. To evaluate this extreme loads, extreme value analysis is commonly employed. A key assumption...

Reflections on potential applications of LiDAR for in-situ observations of high-rise buildings during typhoons: Focusing on wind-driven rain and windborne debris

Debris from extreme wind conditions poses a significant threat to buildings, which has been investigated primarily through wind tunnel experiments and numerical simulations. Recently, researchers have...

Numerical investigation of wind-induced snowdrift on a long-span saddle-shaped roof based on the k-kl-ω model

Long-span structures are more vulnerable to the imbalanced distribution of snow loads, which is a primary factor contributing to structural failure. The development of snowdrifts is directly related...

Roughness constant selection for atmospheric boundary layer simulations using a k-ω SST turbulence model within a commercial CFD solver

Transit of an atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) profile within computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations is often hindered through unintended streamwise gradients in the flow resulting in ABL inhomogeneity....

A refined empirical model of steady-state downburst based on high-resolution wind speed data obtained from wind tunnel tests

A slice of research pertinent to the analytical or empirical models of downburst winds was available, but the current validation was usually based on sampled wind velocities at several typical positions...

Mitigating crosswind response of a high-speed train passing the end of windbreak walls

The sudden change in wind speed at the end of a windbreak wall poses a significant threat to train safety, as it amplifies train’s responses. This study aims to investigate countermeasures to reduce...

3D LES numerical investigation of vertical vortex-induced vibrations of a 4:1 rectangular cylinder

The aerodynamic characteristics of rectangular cylinders provide valuable references for many engineering structures. Aiming to investigate the characteristics of vortex-induced vibration (VIV) of this...
