This paper presents three different schemes for modeling and analyzing the effects of gust fronts resulting from downbursts on structures. These schemes include: (i) the utilization of a manually controlled, pivoted flat plate that can be rotated to a high angle of incidence in a traditional low speed wind tunnel facility to mimic the kinematics and dynamics of a gust front and to quantify thei...

It is well known that boundary value problems with random parameters are very interesting models which become more and more popular in many fields of science and technology, especially in problems where the data are highly irregular, for instance, like in the case of turbulent transport in atmosphere and ocean [8], [11], [15], flows in porous medium [2], [7], or evaluation of elastic properties...
