TLDR
This paper presented a model for describing the damage that might be done to buildings by wind-borne debris in a sustained high-speed wind such as a typhoon or hurricane, as distinct from the damage inflicted by the direct wind pressure itself.About:

The Merapi 2010 eruption: An interdisciplinary impact assessment methodology for studying pyroclastic density current dynamics
Susanna F. Jenkins,Jean-Christophe Komorowski,Peter Baxter,Robin Spence,Adrien Picquout,Franck Lavigne +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the impact of the 2010 Merapi volcano eruption was studied using a combination of remote, field, laboratory, and GIS assessments and was able to enter the affected areas safely and before their disturbance by rains or human activity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The debris flight equations
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a mathematical analysis of the equations of debris flight, in particular the two-dimensional motions of two types of debris are considered, and the results are compared as far as possible with experimental data.

Investigations of plate-type windborne debris—Part II: Computed trajectories
TL;DR: In this paper, a numerical model of square plate trajectories is described and compared with experimental data from Tachikawa, and that described in Part I. Generally, good to excellent agreement is found; lift forces induced by the Magnus effect were found to be significant in determining trajectories.

Trajectories of spheres in strong winds with application to wind-borne debris
TL;DR: In this paper, trajectories of spheres, carried by strong winds, are studied theoretically and numerically, and it is shown that the effect of vertical air resistance is significant, and should be included to accurately predict both horizontal and vertical velocities and displacements.

Trajectories of flat plates in uniform flow with application to wind-generated missiles
TL;DR: In this article, the two-dimensional motion of square and rectangular flat plates in a uniform flow was investigated, and the results of the numerical integration of equations of motion based on experimentally obtained aerodynamic coefficients of rotating flat plates.

A method for estimating the distribution range of trajectories of wind-borne missiles
TL;DR: In this article, a method for estimating the distribution range of trajectories of missiles is presented on the basis of the tests results, and the effects of wind velocity profile, ascending flow, initial vertical reaction force and missile scale, which should be taken into account when the method is applied to actual cases, are examined by using calculated trajectory of two-dimensional models.
