In the past 50 years, Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) has undergone a successful
transition from an emerging field into an increasingly established field in wind engineering …

Abstract Wind-driven rain (WDR), as one of the environmental loads, is an important factor in
designing durable and climate-resilient buildings. The negative consequences of moisture …

Climate observations in recent years indicate that the effects of climate change events are
apparently having an increasing impact on society. These impacts will likely also affect the …

Using molecular dynamics (MD) simulations, we investigate impact behaviors of water
nanodroplets on hydrophilic to hydrophobic surfaces with static contact angles ranging from …

Rainwater runoff from building facades is a complex process governed by a wide range of
urban, building, material and meteorological parameters. Given this complexity and the wide …

Cultural heritage is widely recognized to be at risk due to the impact of climate change and
associated hazards, such as events of heavy rain, flooding, and drought. User-driven …

Building surface erosion is a common phenomenon observed on historic building façades
due to wind-driven rain (WDR) impact. Recently, studies on climate change and the effect …

In the past, different calculation models for wind-driven rain (WDR) have been developed
and progressively improved. Today, the models that are most advanced and most frequently …

Wind-driven rain (WDR) is rain given a horizontal velocity component by wind and falling
obliquely. It is a prominent environmental risk to built heritage, as it contributes to the …

The relation between wind-driven rain (WDR) and its potential negative effects on the
hygrothermal performance and durability of building facades can be better understood by …
