Abstract
Description
"The basic objective of this research is to estimate tornado forces
on buildings by applying basic fluid dynamic principles. Specific
objectives are:
1. To mathematically model the tornado and tornado-structure
interaction through fluid dynamic principles
2. To solve the mathematical equations by the boundary element
method to permit determination of forces produced by tornadoes
on a building
3. To develop a simplified method for calculating tornado forces
and comparing the results with numerical model."
