Attention US Sports Editors:
Newmerical Technologies International, listed on the Toronto
Stock Exchange-Venture (TSX VENTURE: CFD) is a world leader in
computational fluid dynamics (www.newmerical.com) and in wind
effects around buildings and stadiums (cwe.newmerical.com).
Structural design and directional orientation of baseball
stadiums can affect wind patterns and spatial distribution of wind
speeds within the confines of a stadium both at ground level and
higher elevations. This can influence the flight trajectories and
distance travelled by baseballs. Wind approaching from certain
directions can exacerbate the effects. The study of stadium-related
wind effects, early in the design phase of proposed stadiums and
prior to structural renovations on existing stadiums, can yield
further understanding as to a stadium's potential labeling as a
"hitter-friendly" or "pitcher-friendly" ballpark.
Newmerical Technologies' General Manager, Dr. Dennis Torok,
based in Minneapolis, has been continuously in the news lately as
he has been invited to provide opinions on the possible causes of
the significant increase in home runs being hit in the "new" Yankee
Stadium. Dennis is a world-class wind-engineering expert and an
avid baseball fan. His comments on wind issues relative to Yankee
Stadium have appeared in New York Magazine, Newsday, Minneapolis
Star and Tribune, Kansas City Star and as a panelist on National
Public Radio "Science Friday". They can be read in the news section
of cwe.newmerical.com.
He has also been interviewed for an article to appear in USA
Today on Tuesday June 2nd. We invite you to read it.
These interviews have attracted the attention of baseball
enthusiasts and the general public to the merits and superiority of
computational wind engineering, in which Newmerical Technologies is
a leader. Newmerical Technologies' unique scientific methods in
this area may be of interest to teams considering new stadiums or
wanting to correct existing anomalous situations caused either by
the lack of wind studies or by wind studies carried out using
archaic legacy methods.
