Definition

The mutual influence between atmospheric wind flow and the dynamic response of built structures, where aerodynamic forces (pressure distributions, fluctuating lift/drag), vortex shedding, and turbulence interact with the structure’s mass, stiffness and damping to produce static loads, dynamic excitation (buffeting, vortex‑induced vibrations) and aeroelastic phenomena (flutter, divergence) that dep
