*With high-quality mesh and potential turbulence closure, CFD can provide continuous flow information: (a) 3D view of the computational grid, (b) meshing arrangement along the longitudinal section over a cube, and*

This chapter described the main characteristics of ABL winds, as well as some available tools for aerodynamic testing. Earlier studies confirm the presence of
