RESUMO
In this paper we investigate the flow of wind over a relatively complex topography at the lower portion of the atmospheric boundary-layer, by using the well known general purpose CFD package ANSYS-CFX-11. The work was motivated by the difficulty in choosing the optimal locations for turbines (micrositing) in regions of good energy potential, but with complex topography. The simulations were compared with data from landmark experiment at Askervein Hill -Scotland, in 1983. The resulting simulations also were compared favorably with the results of another package for wind simulation.
