Abstract

The paper demonstrates when the Wind Atlas Analysis and Application Program (WAsP) is comparable to Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) in order to use the WAsP wind prediction later for time consuming CFD simulations. Three different numerical methods (WAsP, RANS, LES) for observation of wind flow over the hills are described and compared with the wind-tunnel experiment. The paper shows that WAsP provides reasonably realistic results for the flow over the commonly found in nature shallow hills.
