My computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for wind engineering journey started around January 1983 at Texas Tech University (TTU) when myself and Dr. Kishor Mehta were brainstorming on new research areas on a Saturday morning and what I can consider for my PhD topic. Before that, I did not know anything about CFD and not much in fluid mechanics except taking a four-semester course work in my undergraduate program. Sincse I had reasonable background on numerical methods and its application to solid mechanics from my master’s work in India and in the United States, I decided to apply those concepts to wind engineering applications. Especially, the tornado force on building fascinated me because only after I came to Lubbock, TX, I came to know about tornado and its devastation. In India where I grew up, I was exposed to hurricane-type wind extensively, and this may be another reason for me getting into wind engineering research area. At that time, I did not realize what I was getting into. Dr. Mehta did say I might not realize my dream even after 80 years old. However, Dr. James McDonald (my advisor) and Dr. Kishor Mehta did support my idea, and I started to apply numerical methods in fluid mechanics for tornado forces on buildings. I did not do any substantial work in my PhD work, but it did open the CFD application for wind engineering research area. My next vertical advancement happened when I visited Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organization (CSIRO), Australia, as a research scientist to work under Dr. John Holmes during the summer of 1990. He is a fun and nice person to work with, and I am glad he gave me an opportunity to work on CFD application to thunderstorm downdraft modeling. There I met Dr. David Peterson, and he taught me the implementation of the SIMPLE method of solving the Navier–Stokes (NS) equations and law of the wall boundary condition. There I used CFD to compute velocity in a thunderstorm downdraft and flow over 3D building using k-ε turbulence model. The paper (Selvam and Holmes 1992) becomes the beginning of thunderstorm downdraft study in wind engineering. From there on different challenges in CFD for wind engineering were resolved and now we are in a much better situation for application in wind engineering.
