This presentation will illustrate the creation of computational fluid dynamics-based simulations (and assisted with AI) by using a high-performance computing and physical experiments at Western University’s WindEEE Research Facilities. Attendees will be introduced conceptually to synoptic and non-synoptic wind systems and will be shown typical workflows for experimental and computational design wind load evaluation.

Girma Bitsuamlak is Director of the WindEEE Research Facilities and Professor in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering, Western University. Currently, Dr. Bistuamlak's team is actively working on modeling of (i) extreme wind effects (e.g., hurricane and tornado) on civil infrastructure and (ii) interplay between aerodynamics and other micro-climate stressors.
