Experimental Assessment of RANS Models for Wind Load Estimation over Solar-Panel Arrays

This paper reports a comparison between wind-tunnel measurements and numerical simulations to assess the capabilities of Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes models to estimate the wind load over solar-panel arrays. The free airstream impinging on solar-panel arrays creates a complex separated flow at la...
