[PRESENTATION] Which Way Does the Wind Blow? [ENGINEER] Edmund Yuen, PhD, PE, is the chair of Lawrence Tech’s Department of Civil Engineering. His expertise includes environmental and water resources engineering. He has been an engineering consultant for Chrysler over the last 12 years working on a diverse range of projects in stamping plants, paint shops, and assembly plant facilities. [1] 
In addition to simulating conditions using mathematical models, engineers build scaled physical models to better understand the physics of fluids (liquids and gases) in motion. Students view models that deal with such issues as air pollution, navigational shipping channels, orienting baseball stadiums to maximize the effect of wind on the frequency of home runs, and reducing the impact of wind on high-rise buildings. They also see a demonstration of how wind tunnel modeling is used to diffuse paint odors from a large automotive paint shop.
