Wind and Air Flow Studies

As livestock production continues to consolidate into fewer but larger operations, odor complaints from neighboring communities have become a major challenge to industry growth, making the establishment of appropriate odor setback distances essential. This paper reiterates the development procedure of odor footprint t…

Feature selection is one of the fundamental steps in producing simpler, more interpretable, and computationally efficient models while maintaining predictive power. In this study, rather than fixing the uncertainty relationship between the target variable and each candidate feature to a single entropy parameter, three…

This study experimentally investigates the aerodynamic response of a laboratory-scale, wind-assisted solar chimney fitted with a NACA airfoil above its outlet. Thermal forcing was excluded to isolate wind–airfoil interactions. A Taguchi L25 orthogonal array assessed the effects of wind velocity, horizontal displacemen…

Bu bölüm, afetlerde hava kalitesi bozulmaları ve kimyasal riskleri çevre sağlığı perspektifiyle ele almaktadır. Deprem, sel, yangın, endüstriyel kaza ve nükleer olaylar gibi afetler yalnızca fiziksel yıkıma değil; partikül madde, asbest lifleri, ağır metaller, toksik gazlar, petrol ürünleri ve radyolojik kirleticiler…

Double-skin façade (DSF) systems are important for energy efficiency because they effectively utilize natural ventilation and daylight. However, the uninterrupted vertical gaps in these systems may pose safety risks in the event of a fire by causing the rapid spread of smoke and hot gases. This study presents a hybrid…

Urban wind simulation plays an important role in pedestrian comfort assessment, wind safety evaluation, air quality analysis, and broader urban environmental planning. Conventional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) approaches, although physically grounded, remain computationally demanding and highly reliant on mesh q…

Explosive incidents, whether accidental or intentional, pose significant threats to buildings, critical infrastructure, and urban environments. Understanding the evolution of blast-resilient design research is therefore essential to developing safer, more resilient built environments. This study presents a bibliometri…
