Workshop on Long-Term Wind Engineering Research Needs

该奖项为将于2012年6月在弗吉尼亚州雷斯顿举行的由美国国家标准与技术研究所（NIST）和美国国家科学基金会（NSF）联合主办的研讨会提供支持，以制定急需的减少风暴和沿海洪水影响的基础和应用（以问题为重点）研究的研究议程（路线图）。 NSF支持的风工程研究界感兴趣的将是长期的研究议程，具有广泛的战略方法和目标，用于建筑物，结构和生命线（包括新建和现有建筑）的风灾缓解的基础研究需求。 研讨会将探讨的主题包括基于性能的设计;计算流体动力学;建筑物周围洪水流动的特征，包括冲刷和洪水携带的碎片的影响;以及研究对减少损失的影响。 研讨会将由一个组织指导委员会领导，与会者包括来自与减轻风灾和社区复原力研究有关的科学和工程学科的专家。 他们在研讨会上的互动和协同作用将产生一套严格的建议，阐明风力工程领域最重要的研究方向。 研讨会的成果将是一份报告，概述了基础风力工程研究的五到十年路线图。该报告将通过应用技术理事会的网站https://www.atcouncil.org/提供。

This award provides support for a workshop, jointly sponsored by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the National Science Foundation (NSF), to be held in June 2012 in Reston, Virginia, to develop a research agenda (roadmap) for critically needed windstorm and coastal inundation impact reduction basic and applied (problem-focused) research. Of interest to the NSF-supported wind engineering research community will be the long-term research agenda, with broad strategic approach and objectives, for basic research needs for wind hazard mitigation for buildings, structures, and lifelines, including new and existing construction. Topics to be explored at the workshop include performance-based design; computational fluid dynamics; characterization of flood flow around buildings, including the influence of scour and flood-borne debris; and impact of research on loss reduction. The workshop will be led by an organizing steering committee and include experts from science and engineering disciplines related to wind hazard mitigation and community resilience research. Their interaction and synergy at the workshop will result in a rigorous set of recommendations that illuminates the most important research directions for the wind engineering field. The outcome of the workshop will be a report that outlines a five-to-ten year roadmap for basic wind engineering research. The report will be made available through the Applied Technology Council web site at https://www.atcouncil.org/.
