Bio-engineered slopes use vegetation as “live” protection elements against the triggering
forces of landslides, erosions and debris flows. In this paper, the effects of basic plant traits …

This paper reviews and evaluates the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to
predict the impact of tropical cyclone wind speeds. The literature on this topic is sparse; …

Vegetative windbreaks have a significant advantage in regulating microclimates and
improving soil conditions. Some studies highlight the importance of turbulence and plant …

The transition to remote working due to the pandemic has accentuated the importance of
clean indoor air, as people spend a significant portion of their time indoors. Amongst the …

Natural ventilation is the most common passive cooling system in livestock buildings. The
aim of this research is to assess airflow distribution inside a free-stall barn for dairy cows by …

Blast barriers are commonly used for protecting critical infrastructure from blast effects. While
rigid blast walls are the most frequently used barrier type, they are often unattractive and …

NASCAR has given enormous concentration on aerodynamics in racing in which drivers rely
solely on aerodynamic techniques in pursuit of podium finishes. Since drag accounts for …

The wind-flow disturbance is a potential green biophysical method for preventing tomato
seedlings from overgrowth in plant factories. Firstly, the biomechanical properties of the leaf …

Flexible psammophytes play an important role in controlling soil wind erosion and
desertification, owing to their characteristics. Although flexibility of psammophytes has been …

The drag coefficients of one mature Khaya Senegalensis tree and one Eugenia Grandis tree
in Singapore were analysed using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modelling and …
