Modelling uncertainty in t-RANS simulations of thermally stratified forest canopy flows for wind energy studies

The flow over densely forested terrain under neutral and non-neutral conditions is considered using commercially available computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software. Results are validated against data from a site in Northeastern France. It is shown that the effects of both neutral and stable atmospheric stratifications can be modelled...
