Scientists, academicians, 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, USA, May 23-27, 2010.
This symposium seeks to facilitate the exchange of the latest scientific and technical information in the field of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD), particularly in its application to wind engineering. It is a multi-disciplinary matter concerning multifold topics. Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) is more than CFD modeling. CWE2010 includes topics on field and wind tunnel measurements supporting CWE model development and evaluation.
The First International Symposium on Computational Wind Engineering (CWE1992) was held in Tokyo, Japan. It was initiated by the Japan Association of Wind Engineers to activate and promote research on CFD technology and to develop research fields using CFD in wind engineering. CWE1992 was followed by CWE1996 in Fort Collins, USA, CWE2000 in Birmingham, England, and CWE2006 in Yokohama, Japan.

CWE2010 will provide a platform for discussing and exchanging the latest information associated with the application of CFD to wind engineering problems and the tremendous advances in CFD technology in the past several years. The International Association for Wind Engineering (IAWE) co-convenes the Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) conference 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.
There are many emerging issues to be solved, not only in wind hazard mitigation, but also in air contamination problems near and in the far field of buildings, and in natural/cross ventilation or wind energy phenomena to preserve natural resources and to realize a sustainable society. CFD is one of the promising technologies for investigating these important issues, which will not necessarily be solved by traditional wind tunnel technology. CWE does not necessarily mean CFD, but can include various techniques using computers. Consideration is being given to all major wind engineering topics. |
