A full-scale instrumented low-rise building with gable roof was built at a coastal site with a high incidence of tropical cyclones for monitoring of wind effects on the building during windstorms. This paper presents the field measurements of the wind velocity field around and the wind-induced pressures on the low-rise building during the passage of severe tropical storm Soudelor. Near-ground wind characteristics such as wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity, gust factor, turbulence integral length scale and wind velocity spectra were investigated. The wind-induced pressures on the roof of the building were analyzed and discussed. The results revealed that the eave and ridge edges on the roof were subjected to the most severe suction pressures under quartering winds. These suction pressures showed obvious non-Gaussian behavior. The measured results were compared with the provisions of ASCE 7-10 to assess the suitability of the code of practice for the wind-resistant design of low-rise buildings under tropical cyclones. The field study aims to provide useful information that can enhance our understanding of the extreme wind effects on low-rise buildings in an effort to reduce tropical cyclone wind damages to residential buildings.

This paper presents a time domain approach for predicting buffeting response of long suspension bridges under skew winds. The buffeting forces on an oblique strip of the bridge deck in the mean wind direction are derived in terms of aerodynamic coefficients measured under skew winds and equivalent fluctuating wind velocities with aerodynamic impulse functions included. The time histories of equivalent fluctuating wind velocities and then buffeting forces along the bridge deck are simulated using the spectral representation method based on the Gaussian distribution assumption. The self-excited forces on an oblique strip of the bridge deck are represented by the convolution integrals involving aerodynamic impulse functions and structural motions. The aerodynamic impulse functions of self-excited forces are derived from experimentally measured flutter derivatives under skew winds using rational function approximations. The governing equation of motion of a long suspension bridge under skew winds is established using the finite element method and solved using the Newmark numerical method. The proposed time domain approach is finally applied to the Tsing Ma suspension bridge in Hong Kong. The computed buffeting responses of the bridge under skew winds during Typhoon Sam are compared with those obtained from the frequency domain approach and the field measurement. The comparisons are found satisfactory for the bridge response in the main span.

High-resolution wind data were acquired from a 100-m high offshore tower during the passage of Typhoon Hagupit in September, 2008. The meteorological tower was equipped with an ultrasonic anemometer and a number of cup anemometers at heights between 10 and 100 m. Wind characteristics of the strong typhoon, such as mean wind speed and wind direction, turbulence intensity, turbulence integral length scale, gust factor and power spectra of wind velocity, vertical profiles of mean wind speed were investigated in detail based on the wind data recorded during the strong typhoon. The measured results revealed that the wind characteristics in different stages during the typhoon varied remarkably. Through comparison with non-typhoon wind measurements, the phenomena of enhanced levels of turbulence intensity, gust factors, turbulence integral length scale and spectral magnitudes in typhoon boundary layer were observed. The monitored data and analysis results are expected to be useful for the wind-resistant design of offshore structures and buildings on seashores in typhoon-prone regions.

In this study, datum points measurement have been collected and then weather data have been analyzed to figure out erosion and deposition environmental change around Halmi-island, Baramarae. First of all, it was difficult to analyze geomorphological change which is caused by climate change because of quite short term of collection period of data. However, differences in spatial distribution of erosion and deposition have locally been shown. In all season, the wind is blowing in north and north-west direction mostly except in summer which is shifted to south direction. However, since its ratio which are above 5m/s is much lower than the north and north-west wind, its effect on geomorphological process is very tiny. In order to look at a tendency of erosion and deposition environmental change around Baramarae Halmi-island, the periphery of Halmi-island was classified to east and west part, then accumulated erosion and deposition values have been calculated. As a result, generally, the datum points are located in the west part which are mostly depositional sites. On the other hand, the datum points are located in east part showed the dominant erosion patterns.

A mobile Rayleigh Doppler wind LIDAR at an eye-safe wavelength of 355 nm incorporating double-edge technique with triple-channel Fabry-Perot etalon is developed for wind measurement from 5 to 40km. The structure of this LIDAR system is described. An intercomparsion experiment with rawinsonde is made, showing good agreement with expected measurement accuracy. A continuous observation of stratosphere wind field for several days with temporal resolution of 15 min and spatial resolution of 200 m from 5 to 40 km is presented, demonstrating the stability and robustness of the LIDAR. A stratospheric quasi-zero wind layer can be found at around 20 km with a direction change from east to west evident in the continuous observation.

화력발전소의 옥외 저탄장은 주변 지역의 환경오염 문제로 인하여 국내외적으로 옥내 저탄장으로 전환되고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 옥내 저탄장의 경우 실내의 석탄 비산과 유해가스의 발생이 문제가 되고 있다. 본 연구는 옥내 저탄장 내부를 외기의 풍속 및 풍향에 따른 내부 유동장 특성과 환기량을 분석하여 환기 방안을 제시하고자 한다. 옥내 저탄장 내부에서의 실제 유동 측정 정보를 기반으로 하여 CFD 해석을 수행하였다. 외기 풍향이 동풍일 때 풍속이 6 m/s인 경우와 2 m/s인 경우를 비교해본 결과는 6 m/s일 때 Monitor louver로 배출되는 유속이 2 m/s일 때보다 빠르며 재순환 영역이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 또한 외기 풍향이 서풍일 경우에도 동풍과 경향이 비슷함을 확인하였다. 풍속에 따른 환기량을 확인한 결과는 풍속이 6 m/s인 경우에는 환기 횟수는 13.1회, 2 m/s인 경우에는 4.4회의 환기가 가능하다. 풍속이 2 m/s인 경우에 일반 공장의 시간당 필요 환기 횟수에 미치지 못하여 다소 개선이 필요한 실정이다.

Vortex-induced vibration and instability vibration of tall buildings are very important fluid-structure interaction phenomenon, and many fundamental questions concerning the influence of body movement on the unsteady aerodynamic force remain unanswered. For tall buildings, there are two experimental methods to investigate the characteristics of unsteady aerodynamic forces, one is forced vibration method and the other is free vibration method. In the present paper, a free vibration method was used to investigate the unsteady aerodynamic force on tall building whose aspect ratio is 9 under boundary layer simulating city area. Wind pressures on surfaces and tip displacements were measured simultaneously, and the characteristics of tip displacements and generalized forces were discussed. It was found that variation of across-wind displacements showed different trend between the case when wind speed increases and wind speed decreases, and the fluctuating generalize forces in across-wind direction of vibrating model are larger than that of static model near the resonant wind speed and approach to the static value. And for higher wind speed range, there were two peaks in across-wind power spectra of generalize forces of vibrating model, which means that two frequency components are predominant in unsteady aerodynamic forces.

This paper describes aerodynamic characteristics of an Archimedes spiral wind turbine with various angles of attack. The range of angles was controlled from $-30^{\circ}$ (clockwise) to $+30^{\circ}$ (clockwise). The rotating speed of wind turbine at the same angle of attack in both directions was different. The reason why the-maximum rotational speed was observed at $15^{\circ}$ in clockwise direction can be explained based on angular momentum conservation. Quantitative flow visualization around Archimedes wind turbine blade was carried out between $-15^{\circ}$ (clockwise) and $+15^{\circ}$ (counter clockwise) using high resolution PIV method. The relationship between drag force and rotating speeds was discussed. From these results, optimum design on yawing system of Archimedes spiral wind turbine may provide high efficiency on small wind power system.

풍력발전단지 위치 선정에 있어 풍속 분포 및 발전량을 평가하기 위해 해당 지역의 기상 타워에서 계측된 바람 자료를 이용한다. 그러나 기상 타워에서 계측된 바람 자료는 종종 정보가 누락되거나 원하는 높이에 맞지 않거나, 혹은 데이터 길이가 충분하지 않아 풍력터빈 제어 및 성능 시뮬레이션 수행에 어려움을 겪게 된다. 따라서 풍력터빈 혹은 발전단지에 대한 연간 발전량 및 이용률을 평가하는데 원하는 높이에서 장기간의 연속적인 바람 자료는 매우 중요하다. 또한, 한반도와 같이 계절에 따른 풍향과 풍속 변동이 뚜렷한 경우에는 계절별 특징이 고려된 풍속과 풍향을 동반한 바람 자료를 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 통계적 방법인 은닉 마르코프 모델을 이용하여 풍속과 풍향의 변동을 고려한 인공 바람을 생성하기 위한 방법을 제시한다. 통계처리를 위한 바람 자료는 전라북도 고군산군도에 있는 말도의 기상청 방재기상관측(AWS) 장비에서 계측된 자료를 사용한다. 은닉 마르코프 모델에 의해 생성된 인공 바람은 통계 변수, 풍력에너지밀도, 계절별 평균 풍속, 주 풍향 등을 계측 자료와 비교를 통해 검증하기로 한다.
