the ultimate CFD software for wind flow and resource assessment even in the most complex terrain


Discover the numerous improvements of the synthesis module:

  • CLIMATOLOGY:

– Possibility to launch synthesis weighting several thermal stabilities
– Integration possible of mesoscale data
– New formats for time series data including stability

  • POWER CURVES :

– Use of the WTG format
– Automatic computation of the density at the wind turbines
– New functionality enabling power curves and wake effects visualization

  • RESULTS :

– Systematic calculation of the turbulence matrices
– Computation and visualization of the wind shear coefficients
– Mapping of wake effects (per direction or global)
– Complete IEC export containing the following information :

   > Maximum wind shear
   > Turbulent intensity distinctive and representative at 15 m/s and for strong winds (configurable)
   > Sigma 1, criteria on sigma1 and on density probability for Class I, II and II
   > Criteria on turbulence for Class A, B and C
   > Graphics of the density probability and of the effective turbulent intensity :

  • MORE IMPROVEMENTS:

– Wake effect and Virtual reality now are included in the basic version
– Possibility to unselect non-significant directions to calculate extreme winds
– Adaptation of the Lidar module to the WindCube V2
– New Post-Mapping functionality :
    > Possibility to add met masts in addition to turbines
    > Visualization of the dominant winds (orientation ellipse)
