Hi,
I am trying to find a way to simulate wind flow over real-world complex terrain. My first thought was to run an idealized case. I looked through the forums and realized that running an ideal case over real terrain is quite difficult. Then my second thought was to run a real case, but instead of time-varying meteorological input data, just use constant input data. But I'm not sure how to achieve that.
In summary, what is your suggestion to simulate a wind field with constant field variables (statistically steady) over a real-world complex terrain?
* real with fixed input? (how can I obtain fixed input data?)
* ideal with real terrain implementation (still not sure how to do that)
Which would be easier? Insights are appreciated.
Best regards
