Abstract The traditional Davenport Chain method, which is at the base of current wind
engineering practice, is founded on the assumption that engineering structures are …

Given the increased interest in tornado-induced wind loading (in part exhibited by inclusion
of such loading in wind standards around the world) it is vital to understand the various …

Canada is a vast country with most of its population located along its southern border. Large
areas are sparsely populated and/or heavily forested, and severe weather reports are rare …

Physical modeling is essential for developing the theory of concentrated, tornado-like
vortices. Physical modeling data are crucial for interpreting real tornado field measurements …

The effects of surface roughness on the target flow properties of tornadoes, like the
maximum tangential velocity and core size, are not well understood and widely debated due …

This study characterizes the mean and turbulent flow fields resulting from several large-
scale downbursts simulated in the Wind Engineering, Energy and Environment (WindEEE) …

This paper describes the dataset of measurements collected and published in the context of
the comprehensive experimental campaign on downburst-like outflows that was performed …

Tornadoes are one of the most pressing research topics in wind engineering due to the
extensive damages they impact on infrastructure and the environment. The proper scaling of …

Train Aerodynamics: Fundamentals and Applications is the first reference to provide a
comprehensive overview of train aerodynamics with full scale data results. With the most up …

With global warming intensifying, weather patterns become more volatile and extremes
more common. Tornadoes are the most destructive natural disasters causing significant …
