Validation of computer simulated air flow in forested areas

Abstract

Validering av en skogmodell og presentasjon av en metode for å velge valideringstilfeller.

In this thesis a method to select cases for validation are presented and the interaction between different turbulence models and a forest model is assessed. The terrain model generated in the simulation program is compared with a DEMproduced from the same contour lines, but with a different interpolation technique. The forest model is assessed in light of data from land cover data to investigate the similarities among them as well.
