This paper examines the practical importance of convective gusts for operators of wind-sensitive systems and for designers of Wind-sensitive structures. The mechanics of gusts associated with turbulence (driven by momentum) and convective eddies (dri

The ratio of the maximum gust in an hour to the mean wind for the how is the ‘gust factor’. Extreme value analysis of gust factors was conducted as part of the design studies for Eurotunnel's Wind Alert System. This analysis indicated that the po

When an accidental release of a hazardous material is considered within a safety case or risk assessment, its off-site effects are generally assessed by calculating the dispersion of vapour from the site. Although most installations handling flammabl

Risk assessments for hazardous installations, in which loss of inventory could result in offsite risk, will generally require the modelling of the dispersion of toxic or flammable gases for several realistic scenarios in a range of representative win

A review of literature and published full-scale measurements has been undertaken in order to assess the current status of the modelling of thermal radiation from hydrocarbon pool fires. Based on the review, a semi-empirical model was developed, in wh

When gas is released into a building, it will begin to disperse under the action of its own momentum and buoyancy, and of any pre-existing ventilation flows. For small releases, even slight ventilation may reduce the gas concentration below dangerous

Information on the frequency of occurrence of mean windspeeds between certain limits is required for a range of applications. These cover all possible windspeed values, from extreme high winds, for wind loading applications, through moderate winds fo

Structures have to be designed to withstand the worst gust load expected with some specified low probability. This conventionally depends on an extreme value analysis of severe gusts or mean winds. Gust sensitive vehicles must be operated to avoid, w

This paper presents a method of analysing wind data so that residual risks can be calculated when applying a mean wind criterion to a scenario which is sensitive to gusts. This requires an analysis of gust factor data, which has been undertaken for 1
