Comparison of OpenFOAM and EllipSys3D for neutral atmospheric flow over complex terrain

The flow solvers OpenFOAM and EllipSys3D are compared in the case of neutral atmospheric flow over terrain using the test cases of Askervein and Bolund hills. Both solvers are run using the steady-state Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes <i>k</i>–<i>ϵ</i> turbulence model. &...
