Numerical studies on the wind characteristics over gorge and valley terrains are very rare.
Some simplified gorge terrains with different included angles and different terrain heights …

Abstract RANS (Reynolds-averaged Navier-Stokes) has become one of the mainstream
methods to determine the wind field in the wind resource assessment of the complex terrain …

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 …

The neutrally stratified flow over the Askervein Hill was simulatedusing a terrain-following
coordinatesystem and a two-equation (k-∈) turbulence model. Calculations were performed …

For this study three types of wind models have been defined for simulating surface wind flow
in support of wildland fire management:(1) a uniform wind field (typically acquired from …

Wind field characteristics were investigated with a non-stationary wind speed model at a
bridge in a mountain valley, where five anemometers were set along the bridge span for …

To study the wind characteristics at bridge site in a deep-cutting gorge, a gigantic bridge site
terrain model was made in a wind tunnel. The effects of different oncoming wind directions …

This paper investigated experimentally the thermal smoke back-layering and critical velocity
of the highway tunnel in alpine gorge area with canyon cross wind. A series of small-scale …

This paper exposes the risk of generalization of wind conditions from a single met-mast
measurement to be representative of the actual flow field in a wind farm situated in complex …

The effect of topographic features on wind speed and wake turbulence is evaluated by
conducting Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations using an in-house CFD …
