It is well known that the turbulence energy is overpredicted by the k-ε model at the stagnation point. This problem causes inadequate predictions of flow field. In particular, since the wind-power energy is proportional to wind velocity cubed, it is crucial to predict a correct profile of wind in selecting the best site for a wind-power plant. The effects of the ground are often neglected owing to the very large length scale of the real environment. However, the complex terrain affects a profile of wind near the ground. Therefore, we have to consider the ground effects to obtain an exact profile of wind near the ground. In this study, to evaluate the performance of a low-Reynolds-number type turbulence model for flows on a complex terrain, we carried out a simulation of a flow around various complex terrain. From evaluation, we have improved the model introducing the time scale based on the velocity gradient parameter. The proposed model is evaluated in four complex turbulent flows, i.e., forward-facing step, two-dimensional block, two-dimensional hill and three-dimensional block flows. The proposed model indicates good agreement with the experimental data.
