After a brief review of the existing typhoon wind field models used in engineering community, this chapter presents a refined typhoon wind field model based on some simplifications of the three‐dimensional Navier‐Stokes equations, but including the effect of temperature and the variation of central pressure difference with height. The Monte Carlo simulation method, together with the refined model and the statistical distributions of typhoon parameters, is then used to predict non‐directional and directional design typhoon wind speeds at the Waglan Island in Hong Kong. Finally, a numerical simulation procedure for predicting directional design wind speeds and profiles for a bridge site surrounded by complex terrain, and a case study applying this simulation procedure to the Stonecutters bridge site, are presented.
