Sept 28 & 29 University of Florida NHERI EF Virtual Workshop

[announce at designsafe-ci.org]

*Sept 28 & 29 Workshop, part of the University of Florida NHERI EF Fall
2020 Virtual Workshop Series*


The Powell Family Structures and Materials Laboratory at the University of
Florida (UF) is one of the designated shared-use Experimental Facilities
under NSF’s Natural Hazards Engineering Research Infrastructure (NHERI)
program. The UF NHERI EF is primarily dedicated to studying extreme wind
events in its state-of-the-art boundary layer wind tunnel (BLWT). Details
of the UF NHERI EF can be found at https://ufl.designsafe-ci.org/.

The University of Florida EF is hosting a series of virtual workshops for
potential users interested in wind hazard research. *September's workshop
focus is BLWT hybrid simulation: wind tunnel testing coupled with numerical
models. *Register at the DesignSafe Learning Center
<https://www.designsafe-ci.org/learning-center/training/workshops/uf-ef/virtual-workshop-series/>
.


The goals of the workshops are to:

   - Introduce potential users to the experimental capabilities offered by
   the UF NHERI EF
   - Provide details on the services offered to users from proposal
   development to project close-out
   - Present opportunities for the competitive pursuit of NSF funding and
   initiate proposals that utilize the EF
   - Facilitate networking with fellow researchers
   - Provide in-depth information on the EF’s novel experimental
   technologies (Technology Focus areas will vary by workshop; topics to
   include: Test Automation, Flow Field Modulator, PIV System, and Hybrid
   Simulation)


Each workshop will be held via Zoom in two, interactive half-day sessions
over a two-day period. The first half-day will provide an overview of the
facility (the same for each workshop) and the second half-day will include
a Technology Focus, an in-depth session on a specific aspect of the EF
(different for each workshop). Proposal development meetings between
individual researchers and EF personnel will be scheduled in the week
following the workshop. Participants interested in more than one Technology
Focus are encouraged to register for more than one workshop but only
participate in Day One on one occasion.
