Publication Alert: Asst. Prof. Acosta publishes a new paper on wind engineering

Asst. Prof. Timothy John Acosta published another research paper on wind engineering! His research paper titled “Requirements for partial turbulence simulations using nondimensional turbulence energy contributions” was recently published in the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics. The paper introduces nondimensional parameters to quantify the effects of large- and small-scale turbulence energy on pressure […]

Publication Alert: Asst. Prof. Acosta publishes a new paper on building aerodynamics

Asst. Prof. Timothy John Acosta recently published his research paper titled ” Non-Gaussian peak factor model for windward walls of rigid buildings of different aspect ratios” in the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics. The paper discusses how the ASCE 7 building code, which assumes a Gaussian distribution, underestimates peak pressure coefficients on the
