However, we notice that a standard fringe-region technique excites spurious gravity waves when stratified atmospheres are considered, therefore enhancing the amount of energy reflected from the top of the domain and perturbing the velocity and pressure fields downstream. In this work, we develop a new fringe-region method that imposes the inflow conditions while limiting spurious effects on the surrounding flow. This is achieved by locally damping the convective term in the vertical momentum equation. We first apply the standard and wave-free fringe-region techniques to two-dimensional inviscid-flow simulations subjected to 169 different atmospheric states. A similar study is performed on a three-dimensional domain using a couple of atmospheric states. In all cases, the new fringe-region technique outperforms the standard method, imposing the inflow conditions with a minimal impact on the surrounding flow. Moreover, we also investigate the performance of two already existing non-reflective upper boundary conditions, that is, a Rayleigh damping layer (RDL) and a radiation condition (RC). Results highlight the importance of carefully tuning the RDL to limit the distortion of the numerical solution. Also, we find that the tuned RDL outperforms the RC in all cases. Finally, the tuned RDL together with the wave-free fringe-region method is applied to an LES of a wind farm operating in a conventionally neutral boundary layer, for which we measure a reflectivity of only .","AbstractOtherLang":null,"BibLvlCode":"AS","StandardTitle":"An improved fringe-region technique for the representation of gravity waves in large eddy simulation with application to wind farms","OrigTitleLangCode":"en","OrigTitleLangCodeExtended":"eng","OrigTitleLangID":15,"DateLastModified":{"date":"2026-06-09 01:32:42.381926","timezone_type":1,"timezone":"+02:00"},"UserAccessRight":null,"UserAccID":null,"AuthorKeywords":"Fringe-region technique; Gravity waves; Large eddy simulation; Non-reflecting boundary condition; Wind-farm simulation","OtherDescriptors":null,"Notes":null,"AnaPub":2023,"MonPub":null,"DateUpdate":"2024-03-26","DateCreate":"2024-03-26","SecASFANote":null,"ConfID":null,"PeerRev":1,"VlizCoreFlag":1,"WoScode":"WOS:000901863000002","VABBcode":null,"OpenAcc":0,"DOI":"10.1007/s10546-022-00772-z"},"refs":null,"anarec":{"AnaID":391537,"PubliDate":2023,"Pagination":"567-593","XtraPublOfAnaID":null,"ISBN":null,"Volume":"186","Issue":"3","BRefMon":null,"BRefMonRR":null,"BRefXtra":null,"BRefXtraRR":null,"SerBRefID":42298,"SerRR":"Boundary-layer meteorology.
