The current trend of increasing the electricity production from wind energy has led to the
installation of wind farms in areas of greater orographic complexity, raising doubts on the
use of simple, linear, mathematical models of the fluid flow equations, so common in the
wind energy engineering. The present study shows how conventional techniques, linear
models and cup anemometers, can be combined with flow simulation by computational fluid
dynamics techniques (nonlinear models) and measurements by sonic anemometers, and …
