Flow Modeling
Wind flow modeling software predicts important wind characteristics at locations where measurements are not available. WAsP is the most popular and was created at Denmarks' Risø National Laboratory. WAsP uses a potential flow model to predict how wind flows over terrain at a site. Meteodyn WT, O.F.Wind, WindSim, Windie(TM) and ZephyTOOLS computational fluid dynamics instead, which are potentially more accurate. However, this comes at the price of being more computationally expensive.
