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 ...

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 ...

In this study, spectra obtained from wind tunnel data are compared with a model that describes observed atmospheric neutral spectra. The investigation points out that there is a good conformity between both spectra for ...

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 results of an experimental study on the oxygen transfer across the air-water interface under the combined effect of wind and mechanically generated waves are presented in the paper. The experiments were carried out in ...

Broiler production in Brazil has turned into a very competitive activity in the late years. Constant innovation leads to higher productivity maintaining the same cost of production, which is a desirable situation. Lately ...
