The influence of orographic features on wind farm efficiencies

We employ Reynolds averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) solvers for performing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations of a neutral atmospheric boundary layer (ABL) for a wind farm located on a complex terrain. We also consider the influence of an adjacent hill/forest on the performance of the wind...
