Abstract

Given the substantial influence of wind loading on the structural performance of long-span bridges, continuous monitoring of wind field characteristics in their vicinity is paramount. PyWindAM is purpose-built web server software meticulously designed to simplify comprehensive wind data analysis and efficient management derived from on-site measurements. The software automates the retrieval of raw data from hardware devices and employs vector decomposition to extract essential wind parameters, including mean wind speed, wind direction, turbulence intensity, and more, from data collected at multiple measurement points. These critical wind parameters are securely stored in the InfluxDB database hosted on the server. In terms of user-friendliness, InfluxDB itself provides an intuitive interface, facilitating convenient data visualization and efficient management for researchers and technicians engaged in wind field analysis and structural safety assessments.

期刊介绍： SoftwareX aims to acknowledge the impact of software on today''s research practice, and on new scientific discoveries in almost all research domains. SoftwareX also aims to stress the importance of the software developers who are, in part, responsible for this impact. To this end, SoftwareX aims to support publication of research software in such a way that: The software is given a stamp of scientific relevance, and provided with a peer-reviewed recognition of scientific impact; The software developers are given the credits they deserve; The software is citable, allowing traditional metrics of scientific excellence to apply; The academic career paths of software developers are supported rather than hindered; The software is publicly available for inspection, validation, and re-use. Above all, SoftwareX aims to inform researchers about software applications, tools and libraries with a (proven) potential to impact the process of scientific discovery in various domains. The journal is multidisciplinary and accepts submissions from within and across subject domains such as those represented within the broad thematic areas below: Mathematical and Physical Sciences; Environmental Sciences; Medical and Biological Sciences; Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences. Originating from these broad thematic areas, the journal also welcomes submissions of software that works in cross cutting thematic areas, such as citizen science, cybersecurity, digital economy, energy, global resource stewardship, health and wellbeing, etcetera. SoftwareX specifically aims to accept submissions representing domain-independent software that may impact more than one research domain.
