Pedro Fernandez-Caban: Episode 2: Wind tunnel research to protect low-rise buildings from hurricane winds
In this episode, Pedro Fern\xe1ndez-Cab\xe1n describes specific ways roofs can be altered to redirect windflow and reduce suction pressure \u2013 and roof damage. Parapets, for instance. Another goal for his project: use the UF Flow Field Modulator to develop a roadmap for wind conditions, revealing how different locations are subject to specific sorts of damaging wind fields \u2013 and to provide mitigation advice to builders and homeowners based on that roadmap.
