Wind Engineering and Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Research Center, Northeast Forestry University
Overview
The Wind Engineering and Disaster Prevention and Mitigation Research Center at Northeast Forestry University was established in December 2016 as a university-level research platform, relying on the College of Civil Engineering. The center has over 40 members, including 10 faculty members and over 30 doctoral and master’s degree students. Among the faculty, 4 are professors, and 9 hold doctoral degrees. The academic backgrounds of the faculty members span civil engineering, transportation engineering, computer science and engineering, mechanics, and other related fields. The center conducts scientific research through interdisciplinary integration, serving national strategic needs.
In recent years, the center’s faculty members have led, undertaken, and participated in nearly 20 national-level projects, including key national research and development programs, National Natural Science Foundation projects, and National Science and Technology Support Program projects. The researchers have published over 100 papers and obtained dozens of invention patents and software copyrights.
The center possesses complete experimental, computational, and field-testing research conditions. It has a closed-loop recirculating atmospheric boundary layer wind tunnel, a complex terrain forest wind environment observation platform, multiple high-performance computing servers, and precision testing instruments such as hot-wire anemometers, particle image velocimetry (PIV) systems, high-precision balances, and laser Doppler wind radar. These research conditions provide essential support for the center’s scientific research and technical services in related fields.
