Sig WindE/Validation Cases

The aim of this page is to hold validation cases for ABL (Atmospheric Boundary Layer) flows that are of interest to anybody starting to model in OF. The page will hold links to databases and articles describing experiments, and also instructions on how to make meshes and set boundary conditions that give fair results, hopefully the end result will be complete cases.

(1) Flow over Isolated 2D Hill Experiments by Khurshudyan et al.[1]

This is a wind tunnel experiment with a 2D hill of several aspect ratios, named also RUSHIL experiment. The latest comparison to it was published by Kasmi and Mason 2010 [2]

Meshing The shape of the 2D hill is an analytical function described in [3] as:
