Call for Papers

The Fifth International Symposium on Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) invites papers on all wind engineering topics. Presentations on the future of computation hardware and software as it may influence the future of CWE will be included in the CWE2010 agenda.

CWE Applications for Homeland and Societal Security is the theme for CWE2010. We are especially interested in speakers who will explore and respond to the global need to integrate multiscale computational models with endpoints for human health and property effects. Critical full-scale data and wind tunnel data needed to support advancing CWE are also important topics for all sessions.

Presentations are desired for all topics related to wind engineering application including, but not limited to:

• Homeland Security (societal) needs for CWE
• Linking human health effects and property damage with CWE
• Simulation of atmospheric boundary layer wind
• Simulation of meteorological phenomena (hurricane/typhoon, tornado, downburst, etc.)
• Future computing hardware and software for CWE
• Methodology of numerical simulation
• Wind energy
• Interfacing multiscale models
• Fires in buildings, cities, and forests
• Turbulence models
• Meso-scale meteorological models
• Wind over complex terrains
• Wind around buildings
• Pedestrian wind environment
• Agricultural applications
  
• Snow/sand dispersion and accumulation
• Flow around bluff bodies
• Building aerodynamics
• Bridge aerodynamics
• Vehicle aerodynamics
• Fluid-structure interaction
• Flow-induced vibration
• Indoor/Outdoor air pollution
• Air-contamination problems
• Noise and air quality near roadways with and without barriers
• Air transport and dispersion of pollutants
• Urban wind and air quality
• Wind tunnel data for validation of computational models
• Full-scale data for validation of computational models
• Other suggestions for topics linked to CWE
