Abstract In 1975 Jackson and Hunt observed that there had, until that time, been few
attempts to relate measurements of wind velocity on hills to the local topography. The …

The purpose of developing an integrated wind-erosion modelling system (IWEMS) is to
produce quantitative predictions of wind erosion on scales from local to global. The system …

Understanding of boundary layer flow in complex terrain has proceeded through an
interplay between field experiment and mathematical modelling. Wind-tunnel simulation has …

We review developments in the field of boundary-layer flow over complex topography,
focussing on the period from 1970 to the present day. The review follows two parallel …

The New European Wind Atlas project will create a freely accessible wind atlas covering
Europe and Turkey, develop the model chain to create the atlas and perform a series of …

Bolund measurements were used for a blind comparison of microscale flow models. Fifty-
seven models ranging from numerical to physical were used, including large-eddy …

It is argued that the best area average of the roughness length zo in heterogeneous terrain
is that which, if it applied in homogeneous terrain, would produce the correct spatial average …

Physically‐based models of blowing snow and windflow are used to develop a distributed
model of blowing snow transport and sublimation over complex terrain. The model is applied …

Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) is a promising tool for the analysis and optimization of
wind turbine positioning inside wind parks (also known as wind farms) in order to maximize …

A finescale model of blowing snow is used to simulate the characteristics of snow cover in a
low-Arctic catchment with moderate topography and partial shrub cover. The influence of …
