Biographical details

Since obtaining his PhD in wind engineering in 1978 from Monash University, Professor Kenny Kwok has made significant and sustained contributions to research and professional practice in wind engineering, structural dynamics, vibration control, human perception of motion, and environmental fluid mechanics, particularly with respect to the dynamic behaviour of tall buildings and flexible structures in strong winds. Professor Kwok’s research focuses on fundamental aspects of building aerodynamics and wind-structure-occupant-damper interactions, and their practical applications to real life situations. Professor Kwok rejoined the University of Sydney in 2017.

Research interests

When wind encounters obstacles – whether natural such as forests or human-made such as buildings – wake and vortices are generated, with the disturbed wind characterised by highly turbulent flow and with rapidly changing magnitude and direction. This phenomenon can have serious safety and health implications, as it can result in building and infrastructure damage, widespread dispersal of airborne diseases and pollutants and other issues. Professor Kenny Kwok’s research seeks to better understand the interactions between wind and obstacles, in order to mitigate such adverse effects.

“Turbulent winds can have profound effects on us and our environment. The current outbreak of COVID-19 is a timely reminder of the dangers posed by the spread of airborne contaminants. Previous research of mine has investigated the role of wind behaviour in the spread of disease among high-rise buildings in a densely populated residential housing estate in Hong Kong during the worldwide outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) in 2002–2003 – the results of which are also applicable to other airborne pathogens.

“The 2009 Black Saturday bushfires generated bushfire-enhanced winds that caused significant damage to homes and infrastructure, as well as to forests. Some of my current research focuses on the interactions of these types of winds with buildings and other obstacles, with a view to building this understanding into future design and planning.

“Another phenomenon I am currently investigating is exactly how prolonged exposure to low-frequency, low-acceleration, wind-induced motion in high-rise buildings can cause motion sickness–like symptoms in some occupants, adversely affecting their wellbeing and work performance. To this end I have designed and developed unique simulators to research these neurophysiological and psychological responses, with the ultimate goal of mitigating their adverse effects.

“These are just some of the interactions between turbulent winds and the obstacles in their environment that I explore in my research.”
