Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We invite original research articles and reviews on wind effects on wind-sensitive structures using computational fluid dynamics (CFD), wind tunnel experiments, and full-scale field measurements. With the rapid development of high-density urban clusters, wind energy infrastructure, and slender or flexible structures, wind–structure interactions are becoming increasingly complex. This Special Issue focuses on Structural Wind Engineering: Latest Advances and Applications. Studies on urban building clusters, wind turbines and energy-related structures, and flexible or lightweight systems are particularly welcome. Potential topics include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Wind effects on high-density urban building clusters;
- Wind–structure interaction of wind turbine systems;
- Wind effects on high-rise, slender, and flexible structures;
- Multi-scale CFD modeling of urban and structural wind environments;
- Wind tunnel testing techniques for complex structures and terrains;
- Full-scale field measurements and monitoring of wind effects;
- Wind effects under extreme and non-stationary wind events;
- Wind-induced loading and performance of renewable energy infrastructure;
- Wind effects on wind farms, floating or offshore wind structures, and interactions between atmospheric flow and energy systems;
- Resilience, reliability, and risk assessment of wind-sensitive structures;
- Probabilistic modeling, fragility analysis, and performance-based evaluation under wind hazards;
- Data-driven and hybrid approaches in structural wind engineering.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
