Inhaltsangabe

The book is tailored for Master’s students in Civil Engineering and early PhDs approaching Computational Wind Engineering for the first time. Great effort has been made to keep the book self-contained, building concepts from the ground up, so that no prior background is required.

With a clear didactic tone and a carefully tuned balance between theoretical rigor and practical insights, the book guides students through a passionate journey across the Essential Concepts in Computational Wind Engineering, embracing with equal dedication technical relevance and theoretical beauty.

Inside the book:
I. Wind and Flow Fundamentals: The atmospheric boundary layer, Fluid flow governing equations, Bluff-body aerodynamics.
II. Numerical Foundations: Finite differences, Finite volume method basics.
III. Modelling and Simulation: Turbulence modelling, Oscillators and aeroelasticity, Finite volume method complements.
IV. Wind Effects: Wind loading assessment, Bridge aerodynamics, Application examples.

Luca Patruno is Associate Professor of Mechanics of Solids and Structures at the University of Bologna. His research spans Structural Mechanics, Solid Mechanics, and Computational Fluid Dynamics, with a particular focus on Computational Wind Engineering. He is an active member of ANIV, Italian Association for Wind Engineering, and AIV, Association l’Ingénierie du Vent Belgique-France-Suisse.
