Optimisation of Building Structures Considering Wind Loading. Wind loading is a dominant factor that should be carefully considered and resourcefully exploited in the design of building structures. The ever-taller buildings proposed around the world have presented a major challenge and opportunity in the pursuit of new techniques and materials. The proposed research will improve the competitiveness and productivity of the Australian building design industry by establishing a cutting-edge compute ....Optimisation of Building Structures Considering Wind Loading. Wind loading is a dominant factor that should be carefully considered and resourcefully exploited in the design of building structures. The ever-taller buildings proposed around the world have presented a major challenge and opportunity in the pursuit of new techniques and materials. The proposed research will improve the competitiveness and productivity of the Australian building design industry by establishing a cutting-edge computer-automated design tool for creating innovative building systems that can resist wind loading effectively and efficiently. The developed technology will result in significant enhancement of the performance and safety of buildings, and substantial reduction of construction materials and costs.Read moreRead less

Summary
A high-speed PIV facility for kinematic investigation of rapid transient and pulsatile fluid flows. The unprecedented frame rate of high-speed PIV allows the detail investigation of turbulent and unsteady flows, hitherto inaccessible to researchers other than by measurement at a single point. The proposed equipment will allow researchers to resolve a wide range of problems in fluid mechanics covering bio-medical flows, drug delivery, vehicle and urban aerodynamics, urban hydrodynamics, combusti ....A high-speed PIV facility for kinematic investigation of rapid transient and pulsatile fluid flows. The unprecedented frame rate of high-speed PIV allows the detail investigation of turbulent and unsteady flows, hitherto inaccessible to researchers other than by measurement at a single point. The proposed equipment will allow researchers to resolve a wide range of problems in fluid mechanics covering bio-medical flows, drug delivery, vehicle and urban aerodynamics, urban hydrodynamics, combustion, bubble-particle interactions and other industrial flow problems. The results of this work will place Australia in the forefront of research in transient fluid mechanics allowing researchers to develop a predictive capacity for such flows.Read moreRead less
