Abstract
This article presents the analysis of the behavior of air flow on a hill in the bottom of the atmospheric boundary layer, using a general purpose software Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). Through a comparative analysis of the results of the simulations and the experimental data with different topographies standardized hills available; It has been achieved conveniently validate the simulation procedure. Next; is two-dimensionally simulated air flow over an actual ridge; the numerical results with similar scientific studies and in a timely manner with the operating data of wind farm installed on site, achieving characterize with some detail the velocity field and turbulent domain along the kinetic energy is compared; plus get close coincidences as its magnitude with variations in the order of 1 to 2 m/s for the average horizontal velocity.
