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

  • 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

This one-day user workshop will present the transient and non-synoptic flow simulation capabilities of the boundary layer wind tunnel at the University of Florida NSF NHERI Experimental Facility. Invited speakers will present active research and through multiple group discussions seek to develop consensus key science questions that physical simulation facilities may play a role in addressing. Attendees will help define performance benchmarks to initiate research proposals that utilize the University of Florida NHERI Experimental Facility.

This information is posted on AAWE, however you will find a detailed agenda and can register for the event at the NHERI DesignSafe Learning Center

 

I hope to see you at these meetings!

With best wishes,
Dorothy Reed, AAWE Chair
