Abstract

The accurate prediction of the flow field characteristics of complex mountains is of great practical significance for the development and construction of wind farms, but it is not yet fully understood. The main purpose of this study is to propose a method for the study of flow field characteristics under complex mountain conditions, which can optimize the boundary conditions required for numerical simulation through the wind acceleration ratio and, at the same time, couple the numerical simulation and wind measurement data to reflect the real mountain flow field distribution. The results show that the proposed method has good applicability in complex mountain wind farms, can reproduce the real flow field distribution, and has a certain practical value. Wind speed distribution and turbulence intensity are greatly affected by boundary conditions such as wind speed and wind direction and are also affected by the shielding effect brought by terrain changes. The contrast between 120° and 150° wind direction is more obvious. When the incoming wind moves to the top of a mountain or the ridgeline, it will form a low-speed wake area behind it, resulting in reduced wind speed, increased turbulence intensity, and an unstable flow field.
