The Fifth International Symposium on Computational Wind Engineering (CWE2010) is now accepting abstracts for posters and oral presentations.

CWE2010, which will take place 23-27 May in Chapel Hill, NC, “will provide a platform for discussing and exchanging the latest information associated with the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations to wind engineering problems and the tremendous advances in CFD technology in the past several years,” according to the event’s website.

The theme for 2010 is computational wind engineering applications for homeland and societal security. Four related plenary sessions are planned on the following topics:

1. Applying Computational Wind Engineering to Practice: Perspectives from the Political, Academic, Corporate, and Public Sector Community
2. Trends in High Performance Computing for Wind Engineering
3. Development, Validation, and Application of Atmospheric Boundary Layer Models and Turbulence Models for CWE
4. Coupling Computational Wind Engineering and Mesoscale Meteorological Models

Abstracts on all topics related to computational wind engineering are welcome. The deadline for submissions is 1 October, 2009. For more information, visit the event’s call for abstracts webpage here.
