Objectives

The main purpos of this workshop is to exchange information and ideas on how to apply CFD techniques to practical problems in wind engineering related to environmental, architectural and structural engineering. The workshop should assemble both researchers and users of CFD techniques from industries, governmental services and academic sectors. Several invited lectures will review major topics and new trends in the field and provide an opportunity for engineers, designers and governmental officials to comprehend the state of the art and recent advances in CFD. Attractive demonstrations of CFD simulations including videos and posters will be prepared by expert CFD users and vendors of CFD codes in this area. These will impart valuable knowledge and important know-how for practical use of the numerical simulation. Discussions between the participants representing industries and academic sectors will clarify current problems and future needs in CFD research and of users in order to make CFD techniques more practical.

Poster Sessions

Poster sessions supported by oral presentations have been organized to discuss actual utilization of CFD for various applications.
About 24 papers have been accepted as poster presentations with a 3 minute oral summary. For the selected authors, a poster board of 120cmx90cm with a cloth-covered cork board for using push pins(provided) will be prepared at the workshop site and an opportunity for an oral presentation will be given in the main conference room.
All invited and contributed papers will be published in a volume of the proceedings to be available at the workshop.
The papers submitted will be reviewed for possible publication in a Special Issue of the Journal of Wind Engineering and Industrial Aerodynamics (JWEIA) according to the following schedule. A regular review procedure will be made by at least two reviewers who will be chosen by the Programing Committee.

July 15, 1998 Deadline for full-length papers (6-10 pages in length)
September 1, 1998 Notification of papers' acceptance for the Special Issue of JWEIA
October 31, 1998 Deadline for the revised papers conforming to the form of JWEIA
November 30, 1998 Sending the revised papers to Elsevier
May, 1999 Publishing completed

As mentioned in the objectives, the main purpose of this workshop is to exchange information and ideas on how to apply CFD techniques to practical problems in wind engineering related to environmental, architectural and structural engineering. Based on this goal, the workshop will assemble both researchers and users of CFD techniques from industries, governmental services and academic sectors, and provide an opportunity for engineers, designers and governmental officials to lean about the state of the art and recent advances in CFD.
