Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) plays a crucial role in the field of wind engineering, particularly as urbanization and the construction of larger buildings increase. This comprehensive exploration delves into the realm of CFD, providing readers with a detailed understanding of its application in analyzing wind loading on structures. The author, with extensive research experience in this and related fields, offers valuable insights and engaging practice material to aid in the learning and retention of the discussed concepts.

The book covers a wide range of topics, including fluid mechanics, turbulence in fluid mechanics, turbulence modeling, and mathematical modeling of wind engineering problems. The finite difference method for CFD, solutions to the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, visualization, and animation in CFD, and the application of CFD to building and bridge aerodynamics are explored in depth. Additionally, the book discusses how CFD analysis can be compared with wind tunnel measurements, field measurements, and the ASCE-7 pressure coefficients.

Furthermore, the book addresses the impact of wind on large structures, including wind effects and strain. By providing comprehensive coverage of how CFD can explain wind load on structures, along with helpful examples of practical applications, Computational Fluid Dynamics for Wind Engineering serves as an invaluable resource for senior undergraduate students, graduate students, and professionals in the field.

In conclusion, this book offers a comprehensive and insightful exploration of CFD in wind engineering, making it an essential tool for anyone seeking to understand and apply this technology in practical applications.
