Thisproject targets two key limitations that exist. First, most numerical methods for studyingplacement and flow fields involve the use of complicated and costly computational fluiddynamics (CFD) software. Second, wind resource maps typically represent values at 30 m orhigher. Small scale VAWT installations are typically at a lower elevation where the influence ofground effects can dominate.2.
