Join us May 23-27, 2010 in beautiful Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

Scientists, academics, technologists, architects, and engineers from around the world will assemble at the Fifth International Symposium on Computational Wind Engineering (CWE2010) in Chapel Hill North Carolina, May 23-27, 2010. For more information or questions not answered herein contact the symposium chairperson Alan Huber at chairman@cwe2010.org.

The International Association for Wind Engineering (IAWE) co-convenes the Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) symposium every four years in rotation with one of its three global regional organizations. The American Association for Wind Engineering (AAWE) will co-convene the 2010 event.

The Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI), the University of North Carolina Institute for the Environment (IE), and the UNC Center for the Study of Natural Hazards and Disasters are hosting the event at the William and Ida Friday Center for Continuing Education on the campus of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA.

Session Topics

Sessions are being planned on all topics related to computational wind engineering.

The theme for CWE2010 is Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) applications for Homeland and Societal Security. This theme includes natural and human-caused hazards and disasters. A special session is being planned on the integration of multiscale CWE models with endpoints for human health and property effects. Special topic sessions will include Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) model development and validation, inclusion of boundary layers and turbulence, use in supporting disaster preparedness for wind damage, fire damage, and environmental contamination, and use in developing wind energy systems and their siting.

CWE2010 will include keynote speakers on the future of high performance computing hardware and software as it may influence the future of CWE. Each international symposium on CWE reflects the significant scientific advances in the rapidly developing computational wind engineering sciences linked to advances in high performance computing hardware and software. The future of computing will change the ability and opportunities for CWE.
