Dr. Takanori Uchida from Research Institue for Applied Mechanics of Kyushu University has created a CFD Software that takes complex terrain flow simulation to a whole new level. The software is called RIAM-COMPACT®, featuring the fastest Large-Eddy Simulation (LES) solver in the market.
Tsubasa Windfarm Design (TWD) utilise RIAM-COMPACT® to minimise operational turbulence risk and maximise production for complex terrain sites . Please contact us to discuss your needs.
