Development and Verification of CFD Models for Modeling Wind Conditions on Forested Wind Turbine Sites

摘要

This paper describes a proposed CFD model to simulate the wind conditions on a forested site. The model introduces porous subdomains representing the forests in the terrain. Obtained simulation values are compared to field measurements in- and outside a forest. Initial results are very promising and in the future further model terms will be implemented in order to increase accuracy of the model.
