該期刊的目的是提供一種手段，以便在國際基礎(chǔ)上就風工程的所有方面發(fā)表和交流信息，這些方面都包括在http://www.iawe.org/國際風工程協(xié)會的活動中。這些因素是：風力效應(yīng)的社會和經(jīng)濟影響；風力特性和結(jié)構(gòu)、當?shù)仫L力環(huán)境、風力負荷和結(jié)構(gòu)反應(yīng)、擴散、污染物擴散和物質(zhì)運輸、風力對建筑物熱損失和通風的影響、風力對運輸系統(tǒng)的影響；風力發(fā)電的空氣動力學(xué)方面，以及風力效應(yīng)的編纂。發(fā)表了關(guān)于這些主題的論文，介紹了全面測量、風洞模擬研究、計算或理論方法，以及關(guān)于風力工程實驗技術(shù)和儀器發(fā)展的論文。

The objective of the journal is to provide a means for the publication and interchange of information, on an international basis, on all those aspects of wind engineering that are included in the activities of the International Association for Wind Engineering http://www.iawe.org/. These are: social and economic impact of wind effects; wind characteristics and structure, local wind environments, wind loads and structural response, diffusion, pollutant dispersion and matter transport, wind effects on building heat loss and ventilation, wind effects on transport systems, aerodynamic aspects of wind energy generation, and codification of wind effects.Papers on these subjects describing full-scale measurements, wind-tunnel simulation studies, computational or theoretical methods are published, as well as papers dealing with the development of techniques and apparatus for wind engineering experiments.
