Conclusions
With the proposed canopy model is possible to
estimate properly the dissipation of momentum
and the production of turbulence inside a forest
Further validations are needed in order to state
more precise guidelines for the choice of the
parameters C1 and C2 used together
Masts inside forests
Wind farms close to forests
A possible treatment of a canopy would be with
additional sources in the transport equations of k
and c
