Overview

Dr. Wu’s research addresses the effects of service and extreme winds on the built environment. His interests include buffeting and flutter analyses, vortex-induced vibration, rain-wind induced vibration, hurricane hazards, non-synoptic winds, nonlinear aerodynamics, Volterra theory, reduced-order modeling, and computational fluid dynamics. Current ongoing researches:

1. Nonsynoptic wind-induced transient effects on linear bridge aerodynamics
