Unsteady Flow Structure Interactions of a Gable-roofed Building Model in Tornado-like Winds

An experimental study was conducted to quantify the characteristics of wake vortex and flow structures around a gable-Roof building model as well as the resultant pressure distribution and wind loads (both forces and moments) acting on the test model in tornadolike winds. In addition to measuring the pressure acting on the tested high-rise building model using pressure transducers and wind load...

Visualization of flow structures around a gable-roofed building model in tornado-like winds

Tornadoes are violently rotating columns of air extending from thunder storms to the ground. While extensive studies have been conducted to assess wind loads and flow structures around building models in strong winds, most of the previous investigations were conducted with straight-line winds. Bienkiewicz and Dudhia (1993) found that the wind loads acting on building models in tornado-like wind...

Field Measurement for Aerodynamic Mitigation of Wind Pressure on Gable-roofed Low-rise Building

The components and claddings of low-rise building are usually destroyed first during typhoon disasters in coastal areas. Roof accessory structures can change the flow pattern on the roof, thus effectively reducing the wind load on the roof surface and the damage to the low rise buildings. Two types of aerodynamic mitigation plates, i.e., (1) 0.3 m high full length roof-edge plate, and (2) 0.3 m...

Multidrug-Resistant Candida haemulonii and C. auris, Tel Aviv, Israel

Candida auris and C. haemulonii are closely related, multidrug-resistant emerging fungal pathogens that are not readily distinguishable with phenotypic assays. We studied C. auris and C. haemulonii clinical isolates from 2 hospitals in central Israel. C. auris was isolated in 5 patients with nosocomial bloodstream infection, and C. haemulonii was found as a colonizer of leg wounds at a peripher...
