Boundary Layer Wind Tunnel Simulation of Transient and Non‐synoptic Wind Events

This one-day user workshop will first present the transient and non-synoptic flow simulation capabilities of the boundary layer wind tunnel at the University of Florida NSF NHERI Experimental Facility, enabled by the new Flow Field Modulator (FFM).

  • University of Florida NSF NHERI Experimental Facility
  • Date: Wednesday, May 19, 2021
  • Time: 10am – 5:30 pm (EDT)
  • Zoom Link provided upon (free) registration
  • NHERI DesignSafe Learning Center

Invited speakers will then present their active research in transient and non-synoptic flow measurement, modeling, and physical and computational simulation. Through multiple group discussions we seek to develop consensus key science questions that physical simulation facilities may play a role in addressing. Attendees will help define performance benchmarks needed for physical simulation facilities to ensure rigorous and repeatable experimental research in transient and non-synoptic flow simulation and measurement. Follow-up meetings with individuals will initiate research proposals that utilize the University of Florida NHERI Experimental Facility.
