Overview

This book presents the select proceedings of the 10th National Conference on Wind Engineering (NCWE 2024). It broadly explores five major areas of research. The ‘testing methodologies’ section focuses particularly on the recent developments in wind tunnel testing, computational wind engineering and field measurements. It also delves into wind loading on structures, encompassing bridges, facades, chimneys, cooling towers, steel towers and low-rise and high-rise structures. The book also addresses revisions to the Indian Standard (IS) Codes.

Measurements and Assessments

The book has a dedicated chapter on measurements and assessments related to wind meteorology, wind climate assessment, urban wind environment, and disaster mitigation. It especially presents the recent advances in utilising Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) for predictions.

Additional Topics

This book also covers other important topics like wind-induced vibrations and control, specifically within aerodynamics and aeroelasticity. It also covers topics like wind turbines and other industrial aerodynamics, including vehicle and sports aerodynamics.
