Multi-scale simulation of flow through a wind farm during a frontal passage event

Animation from a multi-scale simulation of flow through a wind farm showing hub-height wind speed during a frontal passage event. The simulation was performed using the Weather Research and Forecasting (WRF) model using an embedded generalized actuator disk (GAD) wind turbine model. This animation is included as supplementary material for the manuscript "Multi-scale simulations of wind farm performance during a frontal passage" submitted to the Atmosphere Special Issue "Modeling of Atmospheric Boundary Layers at Turbulence-Resolving Grid Spacings."
