In wind erosion modelling and assessment, wind speed is a crucial variable. Available records for large regions of the world generally show relatively low temporal resolution. The effect of using wind data of different ...

This paper discusses some features and conditions that characterize the Zonda wind, focusing particularly on the implications for wind engineering applications. This kind of wind, typical of mountainous regions, is far ...

The present work presents a study of the wind potential in the Guarapuava - PR region, briefly discussing the history of the use of wind energy by humans, theoretical concepts and the current panorama of wind energy in the ...

Research and development on Wind Engineering in Brazil and Argentina are mainly concentrated in three institutions: (i) the Laboratório de Aerodinâmica das Construções of the Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul ...
