Shaping the Flow: CFD Modeling of Louvered Envelopes for High-Rise Buildings
The use of louvers as building cladding offers a promising approach to actively modify the flow around high-rise structures. Through their directional effect, they can significantly influence the local flow topology and the overall aerodynamic response of the building. The aim of this work is to numerically investigate the aerodynamic impact of a louvered envelope

Dynamics of an aerial cableway through a time-varying meshing finite element approach
Ropeways have been used intensively for transportation of goods and people since the early nineteenth century. To study the nonlinear effects of the forces acting on the carrying cable, and how they affect the static and dynamic behaviour of the plant, a finite element model with a time-varying mesh has been developed. The system modelling
