UrbaWind, a Computational Fluid Dynamics tool to predict wind resource in urb...Stephane Meteodyn
Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is already a necessary tool for modeling the wind over complex country side terrains. Indeed to maximize energetic yield and optimize the costs, before installing the wind systems, a good knowledge of wind characteristics at the site is required. Meteodyn has developed UrbaWind, which is an automatic CFD software for computing the wind between buildings for small wind turbines. Compared to rural open spaces, the geometry in urban areas is more complex and unforeseeable. The effects created by the buildings, such as vortexes at the feet of the towers, Venturi effect or Wise effect, make the modeling of urban flows more difficult. The model used in UrbaWind allows to take these effects into account by solving the equations of Fluid Mechanics with a specific model which can represent the turbulence and the wakes around buildings as well as the porosity of the trees. In order to validate UrbaWind’s results, different study cases proposed by the Architectural Institute of Japan have been set up. The three selected cases have an ascending complexity, from the simple block to the complete rebuilding of a quarter of the Japanese city of Niigata. The results validate UrbaWind as well for theoretical cases as for real cases by offering a minor error margin on the wind speed prediction.

Cfd simulation for wind comfort and safetyMohamed Fadl
Concern towards the quality of public urban areas has increased in recent years. Wind comfort and
safety in pedestrian areas has become one important environmental parameter when designing new cities. Hence,
architects and town planners need guidelines and simplified design tools to take account of the wind in their
projects. The objectives of this study provide more insight in the pedestrian living conditions around the Hub, a
newly built structure, part of Coventry University campus and at the same time study the influence of building
shapes on the wind distribution. The latter is based on a series of computational fluid dynamics simulations
(CFD), used to advise the University’s Estates Department of the possibility of wind nuisance around the central
campus area. The velocity field was computed using the finite volume method. The simulations were performed
for different wind speeds and directions. The predicted results showed that the distribution of the velocity field
varied and had different characteristics with different wind directions. Also, it was established that the wind
speed amplification factors in diverging passages were generally larger than those in converging passages. The
case study incorporated is intended to support and guide future studies of wind comfort and safety with CFD
and thus makes a modest contribution in improving wind environmental quality in urban areas.

L’investigazione antincendio sugli aspetti strutturali: una proposta di codificaStroNGER2012
I numerosi incendi che si innescano e danneggiano
le strutture hanno rivoluzionato, da una parte,
molte procedure sulla prevenzione definendo metodologie
gestionali più efficaci e stanno, dall’altra,
portando ad affinare procedure investigative
codificate atte a ridurre il rischio di errori/omissioni
durante le indagini.
Lo scopo di questo articolo è quello di esporre
una metodologia codificata di Structural Fire Investigation
(Investigazione sugli aspetti strutturali in
caso di incendio) atta ad individuare le cause scatenanti,
pregresse e latenti, che hanno determinato
l’evento accidentale.
L’iter investigativo, associato a determinate operazioni
strutturali e forensi che partono dalla raccolta
delle informazioni iniziali al repertamento e
controllo documentale per poi completarsi con le
verifiche computazionali, sicuramente aiuta a determinare,
in maniera rigorosa, le cause e l’origine
di un incendio. La modellazione degli incendi con
il software del NIST, Fire Dynamics Simulator
(FDS) e l’analisi strutturale con vari codici di calcolo,
permettono di verificare determinate ipotesi
maturate durante il repertamento e di avvalorare
scientificamente l’analisi semiotica rilevata sulla
scena, fornendo dati forensi utili in fase dibattimentale.
Quindi un’attività investigativa pianificata, permette
a qualsiasi utente, (VV.F., personale delle Forze
dell’Ordine, Consulente, Perito, CTU o Libero
Professionista), di svolgere indagini in maniera appropriata
secondo una linea guida che permette
di non tralasciare controlli a volte rilevanti per la
stesura della documentazione complessiva in forma
di report finale.

7. Structural Control
• It is a technology to reduce excessive vibration in structures caused by
dynamic loadings such as wind and earthquakes.
• Although it was developed first in aerospace engineering, this
technology has fastly spread to Civil Engineering
8. Structural Control
• Structural control provide changes on stiffness and damping
properties of the system, installing external devices or applying
external forces, aiming to reduce original structure vibrations.
• It can be classified as passive, active, semi-active and hybrid.
13. Dynamic testing platform
• Situated at the Structure Laboratory there is a testing platform with a
very low fundamental frequency and presenting excessive vibrations.
