Abstract
A new industrial methodology for CFD-based site assessment is presented. It is based on a steady state two equation RANS model and includes the effect of Coriolis force, forests and buoyancy in the equations for turbulence. The computational results are validated with Monin-Obukhov similarity theory, the Høvsøre meteorological mast and one real site experiment. The validation evaluates the profile quality over homogenous terrain, with focus on profile consistency and shape. Different heat fluxes and roughness lengths are considered. In the second validation section the well-known Askervein hill is simulated in order to demonstrate the applicability of the model to a real site.
