Abstract: Wind energy resources are very rich in China,and the new additions in wind capacity and the entire installed capacity in China ranks the top of the world.However,the study on prediction of wind energy resource lags behind relatively.This article reviews and discusses the application of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) for wind resource prediction.CFD is an important application field of the simulation of wind energy resources.We start with an introduction of the CFD simulation on wind energy resources in aspects of research content,method and model.We then summarize the current status and development trend of CFD simulation on the distribution of wind energy resources in China,including the 3D modeling of complex terrain,mesh generation,selection of calculation models,boundary condition setting,and flow field simulation.
