Abstract: Direct numerical simulation (DNS) and large eddy simulation (LES) with a dynamic Smagorinsky subgrid model are performed to investigate the flow past a square cylinder under the influence of velocity shear at the inlet at ...

Abstract: The coastal region of China is exposed to severe typhoon threats and suffers significant casualties as well as economic losses due to seven to eight landed storms every year. This study developed a geographically weighted ...

Abstract: The gust factor commonly is used in wind engineering community to convert mean wind speeds into gusty winds, which exhibit significant variability in real observations of typhoon winds. This study proposes a probabilistic ...

Abstract: Aerodynamic flutter instability could lead to the catastrophic collapse of flexible long-span bridges and needs to be prevented. This study investigated the variability of eight experimentally measured flutter derivatives ...
