THUNDERR: an ERC Project for the
“detection, simulation, modelling and loading of thunderstorm outflows to design wind-safer and cost-efficient structures”
Abstract
Wind actions are crucial for the safety and cost of structures. The wind climate of Europe and many parts of the world is dominated by synoptic extra-tropical cyclones and mesoscale thunderstorm outflows. Thunderstorms are frequent events causing wind speeds often higher than cyclones.
Despite an impressive amount of research, there is not yet a model of thunderstorm outflows and their actions on structures like that of cyclones. Thus, thunderstorm loading is still determined by the cyclone model developed half a century ago. This happens because its complexity makes it difficult to develop realistic and easy models. Its short duration and small size makes available data poor. There is a great gap between research in wind engineering and atmospheric sciences.
The realization of an extensive wind monitoring network during two previous European Projects, a large project team with interdisciplinary skill in wind engineering and atmospheric sciences, the objective of creating a worldwide co-operation around a new project robustly supported by the European Research Council (ERC) are unique conditions to overcome these shortcomings.
THUNDERR is an acronym of THUNDERstorm that points out the Roar with which this project aims to detect thunderstorms, create a downburst dataset, interpret weather scenarios, conduct wind tunnel and CFD simulations, set a thunderstorm model physically correct and transferable to design and standards, modify the existing wind loading format, design safer and cost-efficient structures.

Midheaven names the tenth house in the natal astrological system. Evoking images of eclipse within in-between realms, it is a point of definition in one’s chart which determines vocation and purpose. Midheaven asks: of what significance is the continuity between contemporary artistic practice and paranormal occurrence?
Drawing upon wildly subjective personal accounts, Samantha Noseworthy’s work and accompanying writings mirror her studies in visual art, poetry and the occult while travelling Atlantic Canada.

Optimus Prime seeks redemption for destroying his home and an unlikely alliance made up of Cade Yeager (Mark Wahlberg), Bumblebee, an English Lord (Sir Anthony Hopkins), and an Oxford Professor (Laura Haddock) must go to battle against the Transformers for control of the planet. The secret to defeating the powerful machines lies buried in the secrets of the past and embedded in the history of Transformers on Earth.
As tensions come to a head and each side vies for domination, the hunted become heroes, heroes become villains, and there's only room for one world to survive: ours or theirs.
