We are happy to announce several very interesting topics for the workshop! The broad variety of wind engineering is covered: starting with the modelling of wind climate under extreme conditions, over vortex induced vibrations and aeroelasticity, to gust induced phenomena, its sophisticated representation and real-data handling. We are very much looking forward to these contributions and thank the authors in advance for their efforts and participation!!!
Update: We can confirm now a keynote lecture, given by Prof. Ahsan Kareem! We believe this is a perfect introduction to the wide field of Wind Engineering with respect to advanced modeling and data analysis.
The book of abstracts is available (preliminary version): CWE_Book_of_Abstracts-FINAL.pdf
Date: 26 October 2022
Start: 9:45 (UTC+2)
