Jack E. Cermak, a pioneer in wind engineering and a longtime professor at Colorado State University, died Aug. 21. He was 89. In 1954, Cermak built the first modern boundary wind tunnel — a tool that ...

After two decades of steady growth, wind blew past hydroelectric as the leading source of renewable energy in the United States in 2019. Last year, wind turbines generated a total of 338 billion ...

The 10th annual Collegiate Wind Competition was held in Boulder May 17-19. In the final event of the competition, 13 teams tested their prototype wind turbines and presented their work to panels of ...

When the framers of the Jeddah Tower—designed to rise higher than 1 kilometer—needed advice on the wind climate about 500 m above the earth’s atmospheric boundary layer, they turned to RWDI Consulting ...

A study finds combining wind and solar leverages their alternating peak periods, significantly boosting total generation ...

AMHERST, N.Y. — We have seen how wild weather can cause major damage across our area. The University at Buffalo will continue to study how high winds can affect buildings thanks to a new government ...

For those who want a grounding in the physics and basic engineering of wind turbines, this book probably isn't a bad place to start. The author, a mechanical engineering Ph.D. who consults in wind ...

The ACI is a resource and authority for individuals and organizations involved in concrete design, construction and materials. The Institute develops consensus-based standards, technical resources and ...

At the University of Massachusetts a number of wind engineering computer codes (the "UMass Mini-Codes") have been developed during the past for educational, research, and design purposes. The purpose ...

ABSTRACT Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models are increasingly being used to simulate the flow through large wind farms to investigate scenarios with significant wake losses. This study ...
