About Robert Meroney

Dr. Meroney's teaching and research focuses on the disciplines of fluid mechanics and wind engineering. He has completed over 55 years at Colorado State including time spent as Chairman of the Engineering Science Program (1978-79), Program Leader in Fluid Mechanics and Wind Engineering (1991-99), Director of the Hydraulics and Wind Engineering Division and Director of the Wind Engineering and Fluids Laboratory (formerly the Fluid Dynamics and Diffusion Laboratory, Co-Director Thermal Fluids Sciences Laboratory He was Director, of the NSF CSU/TTU Cooperative Program in Wind Engineering Currently he is an Emeritus Professor beginning Spring 2004. From 2004 through 2019 he was Senior Research Scientist at Colorado State University. He continued to teach workshops and study institutes on fluid mechanics, computational fluid mechanics and wind engineering. As owner of the Wind Engineering Software consulting firm his research has emphasized Computational Wind Engineering considering air pollution and building aerodynamics as well as the spread of smoke and heat from fires in atria, urban areas and forests as well as mixing in anaerobic digesters and water treatment facilities.Specialties: Wind Engineering, Fluid Mechanics: Air pollution aerodynamics, ventilation, snow drifting, wind energy siting, terrain aerodynamics, wind loading, environmental fluid mechanics, computational fluid dynamics
