Wind engineering is the study of the effects of wind on buildings, structures, and the environment. It involves analyzing the flow of wind around buildings, predicting wind loads on structures, and designing buildings and infrastructure to withstand the forces of wind. Wind engineering also includes studying the effects of wind on pedestrian comfort, air quality, and natural disasters such as hurricanes and tornadoes. This research area is important for designing safe and resilient structures in windy environments, as well as for improving the sustainability and efficiency of buildings.
