flowfield on a complex terrain located in the northeast region of Brazil using different
numerical approaches: CFD RANS with k-ε and k-ω turbulence models (WindSim), simple
mass-conserving (WindMap), and refined mesoscale (SiteWind). The last two are run
through OpenWind software. Wind observations from five meteorological masts are used to
adjust the models. Optimal layouts for a hypothetical wind farm with 50 wind turbines are …
