Recent Advances in Wind Engineering: Innovative Methods and Technologies

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue is devoted to the introduction and application of the latest knowledge and techniques in wind engineering. High-rise and long-span structures are usually vulnerable to strong winds. Wind-induced structural vibration, damage and even collapse have been extensively reported and have attracted wide-ranging attention from engineers and researchers. With the increase in population density in large cities and advancements in building construction achievements, the demand for super-high buildings, super-long-span bridges, large-expanse structures, etc., grows rapidly. Meanwhile, extreme wind events, e.g., tropical cyclones, tornados, storm surges, etc., have shown increasing trends in both occurrence frequency and intensity due to global climate change. These factors have brought new challenges to the wind-resistant design of buildings and structures in 21^st century. Therefore, innovative methods and technologies related to theoretical analysis, numerical simulation, wind tunnel test, and field measurement have been developed to promote advances in structural aerodynamics. This Special Issue calls for papers on recent advances in wind engineering. All wind engineering communities are welcome to contribute their innovative and latest research findings to this Special Issue.

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.
