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 …

This paper reviews the current state of the art in the numerical evaluation of wind flow over
different types of topographies. Numerical simulations differing from one another by the type …

In computational models of wind engineering problems within the atmospheric surface layer
the approach flow should normally be modelled as a homogeneous flow. Velocity and …

The possibility of extending existing techniques for turbulence parameterization in the
planetary boundary layer to attitude, orography-induced turbulence events is examined …

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 …

At the first Computational Wind Engineering conference in 1992 “Appropriate boundary
conditions for computational wind engineering models using the k–ε turbulence model” were …

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 …

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 …

A two-dimensional E-ε model, which included the effects of plant-atmosphere interaction,
was used to simulate air flow downwind of forest edges for the purpose of predicting the …
