Dear Wind Engineering Community,

We would like to remind you of the 2025 NHERI Computational Symposium, “Taking Next Steps Together: Simulating Natural Hazard Impacts from Local to Regional Scales,” which will be held Wednesday through Friday, February 5-7, 2025, at the Luskin Conference Center at UCLA.

More information can be found on the Symposium Webpage.

Abstracts are due August 30, 2024, through the abstract submission page.

This year’s NHERI Computational Symposium has a special focus on the following areas:

  • Computational Wind Engineering
  • Hydrodynamics of Hurricanes and Tsunamis
  • Employing Simulations for Social Impacts
  • CFD Modeling: Wind, Storm Surge, and Tsunami Effects

Additional topics of interest include:

  • Hazard Simulation
  • Calibration of Analyses Using Experimental Data
  • Building and Infrastructure Inventory Development
  • Regional Simulations: Physical Damage, Socio-Economic Impacts, and Recovery from Natural Hazards
  • Applications of AI/ML
  • Uncertainty Quantification
  • Sustainability
  • Climate Adaptation
  • Innovations in earthquake engineering simulation

Educator Submissions:

  • Faculty are encouraged to submit abstracts discussing the use of SimCenter tools in educating the next generation of researchers and practitioners.
  • See our Teaching Gallery for examples on sharing these activities.

 

I hope to see you at UCLA next year!

Best regards,

Organizing Committee Chair:
Seymour M.J. Spence, University of Michigan
