TL;DR: In this paper, velocity and turbulence profiles associated with the k-ϵ turbulence model are proposed which produce homogeneous conditions, and the cospectrum for the Reynolds stress exhibits a characteristics frequency n o ≈ u ∗ / z which is consistent with the suggested profile equations.

TL;DR: Manwell, Manwell, McGowan, and Rogers as discussed by the authors provide a thorough and highly accessible introduction to the cross-disciplinary field of wind energy engineering, including the theory, design, and application.
Abstract: WIND ENERGY EXPLAINED: THEORY, Design, and Application, by J.F. Manwell, J.G. McGowan, and A.L. Rogers, is intended to provide both a thorough and highly accessible introduction to the cross-disciplinary field of wind engineering. The economic viability and political appeal of wind power is on the increase, making this text a timely addition to the literature. It was developed to complement the increasing number of renewable/wind energy courses now available, it includes end-of-chapter tutorial sections, and it combines both academic and industrial experience. Its coverage spans every aspect of wind energy engineering

TL;DR: The ASCE/SEI 7-05 standard as discussed by the authors provides a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six, and includes new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors.
Abstract: Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures provides requirements for general structural design and includes means for determining dead, live, soil, flood, wind, snow, rain, atmospheric ice, and earthquake loads, as well as their combinations, which are suitable for inclusion in building codes and other documents. This Standard, a revision of ASCE/SEI 7-05, offers a complete update and reorganization of the wind load provisions, expanding them from one chapter into six. The Standard contains new ultimate event wind maps with corresponding reductions in load factors, so that the loads are not affected, and updates the seismic loads with new risk-targeted seismic maps. The snow, live, and atmospheric icing provisions are updated as well. In addition, the Standard includes a detailed Commentary with explanatory and supplementary information designed to assist building code committees and regulatory authorities. Standard ASCE/SEI 7 is an integral part of building codes in the United States. Many of the load provisions are substantially adopted by reference in the International Building Code and the NFPA 5000 Building Construction and Safety Code. Structural engineers, architects, and those engaged in preparing and administering local building codes will find this Standard an essential reference in their practice. Note: New orders are fulfilled from the second printing, which incorporates the errata to the first printing.
