Abstract

In the present study, an influence of an inflow profile and a spatial resolution of an elevation data on wind speed of a hub height over complex terrain were investigated. For this purpose, a large-eddy simulation (LES) based on a generalized curvilinear collocated grid was done. It was shown that a speed-up ratio at a position of a hub height increased, as a power law exponent became small. About an influence of a spatial resolution of an elevation data, it was shown that a spatial resolution decreased, and a speed-up ratio at a position of a hub height decreased, too. Furthermore, an influence of inflow turbulences was investigated.
