Resistance models for forest canopy
Svensson
Lopes da Costa
Source term formulation for based model
Model setup
Based on roughness distribution information
Based on canopy distribution information
Forestry model
2 approaches:
Ground roughness + displacement height
Approach used in WAsP
Resistance term
Similar approach to Walshe (E.On)
(http://www.bwea.com/pdf/trees/POWERGEN.pdf)
Roughness plus displacement model not suitable for CFD
due to blockage effects and anomalous speed-ups.
Forest canopy is volume with resistive body force
Possible inclusion of turbulence source terms as well
Models used in many applications for congested regions, eg
rod bundles, pipework,
