Abstract
The purpose of the first international conference on wind engineering is to bring together two independent and separate fields of research and engineering with a view to find out the potential for closer collaboration. To break down the barriers, it is important to identify some of the problems in wind engineering that might be attacked using computational methods and avoid the jargon that every research field fosters. Wind engineering is concerned with the effects of wind on the factors related to daily life. This includes the wind effects on buildings and bridges, the dispersion of pollutants, the effects on energy usage, on transportation, and on agriculture. Because of the uncertainties of weather and climate, the accuracy needed is less than in other fields where computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been used, such as in aeronautics. This fact might have a strong influence on the development of the applications.
