Free CFD calculation of complex terrain site - Introducing WAsP CFD

[Brian Ohrbeck Hansen]

Dear WAsP user,

You are hereby offered a free Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) calculation of a complex terrain site!

As you possibly already know the WAsP team is currently working on a fundamentally new approach to CFD for wind resource assessment in complex terrain. We call it “WAsP CFD” and it combines the strengths of WAsP with the strengths of CFD in the WAsP graphical user interface that you already know.

WAsP CFD will be demonstrated at EWEA 2012 in Copenhagen and testing is already ongoing. As the WAsP team would like WAsP CFD to become very valuable to you, we would appreciate to know what you think about it in the present version (e.g. the general concept of an on-line CFD service, our implementation of it, the graphical user interface and the results). Therefore, we would like to meet with you for a personal demonstration at our EWEA 2012 exhibition stand (C1-B48). In order to give you a better impression of what you can do with WAsP CFD, we could discuss a site that you have recently analyzed with WAsP – so we offer to calculate one of your complex terrain sites using WAsP CFD.

If you will be attending EWEA 2012 and would like a free CFD calculation of a complex terrain site that you have recently analyzed with WAsP, then simply email us your WAsP workspace no later than 31st March. In the email subject please type “WAsP workspace for WAsP CFD at EWEA 2012”. Your workspace may contain any normal WAsP elements but should as a minimum include a vector map with height contours as well as roughness lines – and we also need an indication of the target area. Please note that we cannot promise to calculate all sites received but we will take as many as possible in the order we get them. All received information will of course be treated as confidential.

We hope that you find this offer interesting and that you will be as excited about WAsP CFD as we are!


Best regards,

The WAsP team
