Abstract: AbstractThe strongly nonlinear nature of Navier–Stokes equations governing bluff-body aerodynamics suggests that a significant amount of aerodynamic data is needed to accurately characterize the wind effects on civil ...

Abstract: Observations in extreme wind events, such as hurricanes/typhoons and downbursts, present strong nonstationarities. While nonstationary features of incident winds are typically ignored in the conventional analysis framework ...

Abstract: AbstractMultihazard wind and ice accretion pose risks to lattice steel transmission tower systems, which are the most common supporting structures for high-voltage overhead lines. This study investigated these risks within ...

Abstract: The gas wave ejector (GWE) is an efficient gas wave equipment using pressure waves to realize energy exchange. In this paper, a theoretical analysis of the limitation of application range and the factors affecting the ...

Abstract: Bridge vortex-induced vibration (VIV) involves a number of uncertainties resulting from wind characteristics, structural properties, and bluff-body aerodynamics. Evaluation of VIV considering the variability in the parameter ...
